Root canal treatment aims to control infection and promote the healing of peri-apic lesions. It is the most common treatment plan for endodontic and peri-apic diseases.
However, due to the missing root canal, the intricate filling of root canals, the external biofilm of apical , the complexity of anatomical root, root fissures, true cysts, etc., the success rate of root canal treatment remains at 70%-90%, and failure still exists. Most friends will choose to extract the teeth at this time.
So, can we really only accept tooth extraction after the root canal treatment fail? No, we can try to preserve the affected teeth through root canal surgical treatment.

Microroot Canal Surgery
With the emergence of microscopes and minimally invasive devices, microroot canal surgery is gradually maturing, and can provide methods such as microintentional reimplantation and microtooth root surgery.
microintentional reimplantation
This method is first of all minimally invasive tooth extraction, then lesion apical resection and reverse filling and closure of the root canal. Finally, after the tooth extraction wound is cleaned, the affected tooth is reduced and re-implanted and fixed. Generally, after three to six months, the affected tooth can be completely restored.
microscopic root surgical treatment
Through root cutting, dentition, root division and other treatments, healthy roots and their supporting tissues are retained, and the lifespan of affected teeth is extended. It is often used in cases where one or more teeth cannot be retained due to root cracks, root fractures, internal and external absorption, or the tooth root is healthy but irreparable damage occurs in the bottom of the pulp chamber.
No matter what method is used, the purpose of endodontic disease treatment is to do its best to preserve healthy dental tissue, restore dental function, and extend the life of the teeth.
When filling repair, pulp reconstruction, root canal treatment and root canal retreatment are powerless, root canal surgery becomes our last stubbornness.
