Endodontic surgery involves dental surgery. It is a procedure that involves opening the gum tissue and removing the bone and end of the root of the troublesome tooth.

What is involved in Endodontic treatment?

An endodontic treatment is another word for a root canal. A root canal procedure consists of the dentist numbing the infected tooth, then make an opening by drilling the area. The dentist will then clean out all of the decay and most of the time only partially complete the work. Patients will return in a few weeks to have the procedure finished.

Is a root canal considered oral surgery?

A root canal is generally not considered oral surgery in the traditional sense. Instead, it is classified as an endodontic procedure, which involves treating issues inside the tooth, specifically the pulp and root canals. Root canal therapy is typically performed by a general dentist or an endodontist (a specialist in root canal treatment) and does not usually involve surgical incisions into the gums or jawbone. However, in some complex cases—such as when infection persists after a root canal—an endodontic surgical procedure like an apicoectomy (removal of the root tip) may be required. That type of treatment would fall under the category of oral surgery. In summary, a standard root canal is a non-surgical dental procedure, but related procedures may involve oral surgery when necessary.
