Are there other types of endodontic surgery?
Home / Are there other types of endodontic surgery?
Other surgeries your endodontist might perform include dividing a tooth in half, repairing an injured root, or even removing one or more roots. Gulf Coast Endodontics will be happy to discuss the specific type of surgery your tooth requires. In certain cases, a procedure called intentional replantation may be performed. In this procedure, a tooth is extracted, treated with an endodontic procedure while it is out of the mouth, and then replaced in its socket. Additionally, in some circumstances a procedure called an autotransplantation can be performed. A damaged tooth that cannot be saved is extracted and one of your natural teeth, such as a third molar, is used to replace the missing tooth. These procedures are designed to help you save your tooth.
