ENDODONTIC MICROSURGERY
In some situations, conventional root canal treatment or retreatment alone may not fully resolve infection around the root tip.
Endodontic microsurgery is a specialized procedure designed to access and treat infection directly at the root end using microsurgical techniques and enhanced magnification.
At Dental Creation Chiang Mai, microsurgical procedures are approached conservatively with careful diagnosis, detailed planning, and modern precision-based techniques.
When Microsurgery
May Be Recommended
Microsurgery may be considered when:
Persistent infection remains after root canal treatment
Retreatment alone is not feasible
Anatomical limitations prevent conventional treatment
Root-end pathology persists
Existing restorations are difficult to remove
Each case requires careful evaluation to determine suitability.
Benefits of Microsurgical Techniques
Greater procedural precision
Smaller surgical access
Improved visualization
Conservative tissue management
More predictable healing
Recovery and Healing
Recovery varies depending on case complexity and individual healing response.
Patients may experience:
Mild swelling
Temporary discomfort
Tenderness around the surgical site
Post-operative instructions and follow-up care are important for proper healing.
