APICECTOMY (APICAL SURGERY)
This is a surgical procedure to remove the tip of the root of a tooth within the jawbone and any associated infection. A tooth can get infected due to decay, large filling or trauma. Initially, root canal treatment is performed to clear the infection. Sometimes root canal treatment is not sufficient or not possible. Surgical treatment is then carried out and many teeth can be saved when otherwise they would have to be taken out.

GUIDED TISSUE AND BONE REGENERATION
Infection from gum or dental disease or injury can lead to extensive bone loss around the tooth, thus weakening the tooth considerably. Surgical treatment and bone grafting can be done to regenerate the lost tissue, thus saving the tooth from extraction.
