An apicoectomy is an endodontic surgical procedure which is carried out to remove the tip of the tooth's root, and the root end cavity is then filled with a type of biocompatible material. The type of biocompatible material used may vary and some yield better results than others. Here, leading endodontist Dr Federico Foschi explains what types of biocompatible material can be used in the procedure and how they work.

Root canal and apicoectomy are two endodontic procedures which can be carried out to save a tooth. However, there are some fundamental differences between the two. You might need an apicoectomy when a root canal treatment has failed, as it's generally used as a last resort to save a tooth, while a root canal is often used as the first approach to saving a tooth.

An apicoectomy is an endodontic surgical procedure which is carried out to remove the tip of the tooth's root, and the root end cavity is then filled with a type of biocompatible material. This might sound a little complicated, but leading endodontist Dr Federico Foschi is here to explain how exactly an apicoectomy is performed, why it is needed, and why it's different to a root canal procedure. Apicoectomies are typically carried out by endodontists, who are specialists in problems arising in the soft tissue of the tooth. This means they often see patients related to dental pain diagnosis, performing root canal treatment, and saving the natural teeth.
