How Apicoectomy + Retrograde Filling is performed
Under local anesthesia, a flap is raised to expose the apical area, a small amount of the apex is resected under magnification, and the lesion tissue is cleaned. The apical cavity is prepared in a retrograde manner and filled and sealed with bioceramic materials, then rinsed to stop bleeding and sutured. Ultrasound and microscopic instruments are commonly used during the procedure. Postoperative X-rays are taken to evaluate the sealing and resection range. Early monitoring of swelling and pain aims to remove the source of infection and improve apical sealing. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
