A challenging case of root resorption was successfully managed through an apicoectomy, a microsurgical procedure that removes the infected root tip and surrounding diseased tissue while preserving the natural tooth.

When infection persists even after a root canal treatment, an apicoectomy (root-end surgery) may be the best option to save the natural tooth and prevent extraction.

At Tesoro Dental Clinic, we always strive to save your natural teeth whenever possible through advanced and conservative treatment options.

A challenging odontectomy case successfully completed at Nazareth General Hospital by Dr. Maureen Ava Tesoro in collaboration with Dr. Ann Theresa Bolos.

This impacted tooth presented with an unusual ribbon-like morphology, bulbous roots, and severe root curvature—making extraction particularly demanding. Through careful planning, surgical precision, and teamwork, the tooth was safely removed without complications.

Many patients ask why odontectomy can be more expensive than a simple extraction. The reason lies in the complexity of the procedure. Difficult cases often require advanced diagnostics, specialized surgical instruments, additional operating time, meticulous bone removal, tooth sectioning, and a higher level of surgical expertise to safely avoid injury to surrounding structures.

In this case, the tooth’s unique anatomy required extra care and skill to achieve a successful outcome.

“Not all wisdom teeth are created equal. Some challenge even the most experienced hands.”
