Visitor asks:
Dear Sir/Madam, after one year of unsuccessful root canal treatment of my upper left second premolar, my dentist decided on an apicoectomy because, in his opinion, there is no other solution. I have a full bridge/crown restoration on the upper teeth.
After the first apicoectomy, during which the root tip was removed, pain appeared after one month. They performed another apicoectomy, leaving only 3 mm of root. After one week the pain returned. I took antibiotics, but they did not help and the pain remained.
Is there any other solution?
Thank you for your answer and kind regards, Marija
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
Based on what you have written, I believe the only possible solution is removal of the tooth. The tooth can be replaced with a conventional fixed prosthetic bridge or, even better, with a dental implant.
Have a nice day!
