Root tip resection

Saving the tooth even in cases where conventional treatment is not enough

Root tip resection is a surgical procedure that removes the inflamed part of the tooth root – without the need for extraction. It is mainly used in cases where inflammation persists after endodontic treatment. Thanks to precise work under the microscope, we are able to save the tooth and return pain relief to the patient.

Tooth preserved, inflammation removed

We remove only the affected part of the root and the surrounding inflammation. The rest of the tooth is preserved and remains functional.
