Root tip resection is an alternative to tooth extraction

In Factor Smile dentistry, resection surgery is performed strictly according to international standards. The microscope, ultrasound technology and laser technologies are used, which ensures accuracy, minimal tissue injury and rapid healing. All the steps have been worked out to the smallest detail:

1. Diagnostics: At this stage, computed tomography (CT) is performed, which allows you to evaluate the anatomy of a tooth, the location of a cyst or granuloma, and the condition of bone tissue in 3D format. A consultation with a specialist is conducted, the presence of contraindications is clarified and an individual intervention plan is drawn up.
2. Anesthesia: Anesthesia is performed using modern drugs for anesthesia in dentistry, based on the patient's characteristics. infiltration or conduction anesthesia is used, depending on the location of the tooth and the anatomy of the jaw. This ensures complete absence of pain throughout the procedure.
3. Opening access: The surgeon makes a small incision in the projection area of the root tip. The work is carried out under a microscope — this allows you to preserve healthy tissues and minimize interference. Sometimes laser coagulation is used to reduce bleeding.
4. Removal of the inflammatory focus: Through the formed access, infected tissue is removed — a granuloma, cyst, or inflamed root area. The surrounding area is thoroughly cleaned and antiseptic treatment is performed using ultrasound or laser.
5. Channel sealing: The root area that has undergone resection is sealed using special biocompatible materials. This protects the inner cavity from reinfection and ensures structural strength for years to come.
6. Suturing and rehabilitation: The incision is sutured with cosmetic sutures, and if necessary, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial drugs are prescribed, as well as a course of mild rehabilitation. After a few days, the patient can return to his usual life.

The entire intervention takes from 30 to 60 minutes, is performed on an outpatient basis and does not require hospitalization. Thanks to the use of high-precision diagnostics and modern methods of anesthesia in dentistry, the procedure is as comfortable as possible even for sensitive patients.

Advantages of the method

• Tooth preservation — no implant is required;
• High success rate — with proper technique, more than 90% of cases are completed successfully;
• Fast recovery — minimal discomfort and injury;
• Aesthetics — one's own tooth is preserved, the bite and the smile line are not disturbed.

Postoperative period

After surgery, moderate soreness and swelling may occur within 1-3 days. The doctor prescribes mild anti-inflammatory treatment, gentle hygiene, and a follow-up. The stitches are removed after 7-10 days.

Within a month, the tooth and bone are fully restored, and a person can chew again without pain and fear of complications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Resection permanent?

Yes, provided that the hearth is successfully removed and the channels are properly sealed. Repeated intervention is usually not required.

Is it possible to perform a resection under the crown?

In some cases, yes. If access to the root is possible from the vestibular (external) side, the crown is preserved. In other situations, it is temporarily removed and restored after healing.

How much does the procedure cost?

The cost depends on the complexity, the number of roots, the need for diagnostics, and the technologies used. You can find out the exact price at a clinic consultation.
