How Apicoectomy is performed
If applicable, it is performed with the aid of microscopic and ultrasonic instruments. Usually, a flap is cut and reflected under local anesthesia to expose the apical area, remove infected tissue and resect the root apex, prepare the root-end cavity, and retrofill with biocompatible materials; bone cavity debridement and filling are performed if necessary, followed by irrigation, hemostasis, and suturing.
