Surgical Endodontics

There are many surgical procedures that can be performed to save a tooth. The most common is called an apicoectomy, or root-end resection, which may be needed when inflammation or infection persists in the bony area around the end of your tooth after a root canal procedure. Periradicular surgery today bears little resemblance to the surgical procedures commonly performed just 15 years ago. Enhanced magnification and illumination, microsurgical instruments, ultrasonics, new materials for hemostasis and root-end filling, and a greater understanding of the biology of wound healing and the etiology of persistent periradicular disease all have contributed to the rapid evolution of periradicular surgery. With proper case selection and operator skill, periradicular surgery can be considered a predictable, cost effective alternative to extraction and tooth replacement.This book is being compiled for the readers to get comprehensive knowledge of the surgical procedure that are being used in Endodontics.
