A root tip resection is a microsurgical procedure in which the inflamed or infected tip of a tooth root is removed along with the surrounding pathological tissue. The procedure is performed when conventional endodontic treatment (root canal cleaning) has not been effective, or when retreatment of the root canals is not possible.
During the surgery, the dentist typically removes only a few millimeters of the root and cleans the affected bone tissue. A major advantage of this procedure is the preservation of the natural tooth — even in complicated cases, it allows you to avoid full extraction.
Timely root tip resection prevents complications such as chronic infections, abscesses, cysts, or bone loss around the tooth. This not only improves overall oral health but also helps preserve the tooth without the need for implants or prosthetics.
The operation is performed under local anesthesia, is virtually painless, and recovery is quick and controlled. At RelaxDent Clinic in Lviv, we use modern microsurgical equipment and optical magnification, allowing us to work with maximum precision while protecting healthy tissues.
If you have chronic inflammation after root canal treatment or an X-ray shows damage near the root tip, contact our specialists. We will help you make the right decision and preserve your tooth for years.
In the early stages, patients may not feel any pain even if there is chronic inflammation or a cyst near the root tip. Over time, symptoms that may indicate the need for resection can appear: intermittent pain in a specific tooth, discomfort when chewing, swollen gums, or pronounced sensitivity in the area after previous root canal treatment. The presence of a fistula (pus canal in the gum) may also indicate the need for the procedure.
At RelaxDent Clinic in Lviv, we recommend regular check-ups after root canal treatment — this helps detect issues early and prevent complications.
Root tip resection is necessary when conventional root canal treatment has failed or retreatment is not possible. Common reasons include:
Root tip resection allows the tooth to be saved and eliminates the chronic infection site. At RelaxDent Clinic, we perform this procedure under a microscope using modern equipment, ensuring precise work without harming healthy tissues.
It starts with a thorough dental exam, where the dentist evaluates your teeth and creates a personalized treatment plan
Modern diagnostic methods detect hidden decay, even in hard-to-reach areas, allowing the dentist to determine the damage accurately
To make the treatment as comfortable as possible, mild anesthesia is used, eliminating pain even in the most sensitive areas of the mouth
The dentist removes affected tissue, cleans the cavity, treats it with antiseptics, and fills the tooth, considering its location and load

At RELAXDENT Clinic in Lviv, we offer modern and painless surgical treatment — root tip resection (apicoectomy)
Our team of specialists performs root tip resection using a microscope and microsurgical instruments. This allows us to effectively remove the infected portion of the root without extracting the entire tooth, preserving the healthy part.
1. Modern approaches to root tip resection: We use microscopic precision to remove only the affected part of the root. This approach eliminates chronic inflammation, cysts, or residual instruments in the canal without damaging healthy tissues. Thanks to advanced technologies and methods, patients experience no pain, and the healing period is quick.
2. Indications for the procedure: Root tip resection is recommended when conventional endodontic treatment has failed. It is also necessary in cases of recurrent inflammation, periapical lesions, cysts, or anatomical complications of the root canal.
At RelaxDent in Lviv, the procedure is performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia, ensuring complete patient comfort. We combine precision, care, and minimal invasiveness with high-quality materials. After resection, the root area is treated with a biocompatible material to prevent recurrence. This approach allows the tooth to be preserved for many years.If you are looking for a reliable solution for chronic inflammation near the tooth root, contact RelaxDent.
