However, like any surgical procedure, apical resection carries some risks and success rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apical resection is the surgical removal of infected or cystic root tips that do not respond to root canal treatment. In general, the probability of teeth undergoing apical resection remaining in the mouth for many years is quite high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In_Which_Cases_Is_Apical_Resection_Performed\"><\/span>In Which Cases Is Apical Resection Performed?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Formation of chronic infection or abscess at the root end<br>\u2022 Cyst formation at the root end<br>\u2022 Fracture or foreign body at the root end<br>\u2022 Saving teeth with unsuccessful root canal treatment<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Is_the_Apical_Resection_Procedure_Performed\"><\/span>How Is the Apical Resection Procedure Performed?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Local anesthesia is applied<br>\u2022 The gum is lifted and the root end is exposed<br>\u2022 Infected tissue and part of the root end are removed<br>\u2022 The root canal is cleaned again and closed with filling material (MTA)<br>\u2022 Stitches are placed after the procedure and the area is closed<br>\u2022 The tooth is removed from occlusion<br>\u2022 The patient is advised not to eat hard foods with this tooth for about 2 months<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Recovery_Process_After_Apical_Resection\"><\/span>Recovery Process After Apical Resection<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 There may be mild pain and swelling, which usually subsides within 1 week<br>\u2022 Antibiotics and painkillers are prescribed<br>\u2022 Stitches are removed after 7\u201310 days<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tooth_Prognosis_After_Apical_Resection\"><\/span>Tooth Prognosis After Apical Resection<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apical resection is a procedure considered as a last resort to save your tooth. Although the success rate is quite high, it may vary from person to person. In some cases, reinfection may occur or you may encounter different problems such as tooth breakage (bruxism, hard feeding, etc.). For this reason, it is important to follow all your doctor&#8217;s instructions before and after the procedure. With regular dental check-ups, you can maintain your tooth health for many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Factors_Affecting_the_Success_of_Apical_Resection\"><\/span>Factors Affecting the Success of Apical Resection<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Severity of Infection: The extent and depth of the infection is one of the most important factors affecting the success of the procedure<br>\u2022 General Condition of the Tooth: The health of other parts of the tooth, bone structure and the condition of the root canal also determine the prognosis<br>\u2022 Accuracy of Surgery: The experience of the surgeon and the correct performance of the procedure are critical to success<br>\u2022 Patient Care: The importance given by the patient after the procedure affects the healing process<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Long-Term_Effects_of_Apical_Resection\"><\/span>Long-Term Effects of Apical Resection<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Tooth Life: A successful apical resection can significantly extend the life of the tooth<br>\u2022 Pain and Swelling: It is normal to experience pain and swelling in the first few days after the procedure.
