Abstract

This review explores the theoretical and clinical aspects of the apicoectomy (root resection) process in periradicular surgery, which is crucial when standard root canal treatments fail. This procedure entails root apex amputation to resolve problems in the root area. Its goal is to eliminate enduring endodontic pathogens by employing surgical debridement, root-end resection, and canal obturation. The article consolidates extensive literature, emphasizing the procedure's significance in paediatric endodontics and updates in apical surgery. Providing a comprehensive overview, it highlights the procedure's advancements and its crucial role in managing endodontic concerns beyond traditional treatments.
