Surgical Endodontics in Pediatric Dentistry

Bys: Iram, Bareera, Seraj, Saman, Gupta, Kapil Dev

Surgical endodontics in pediatric dentistry involves procedures performed when conventional root canal treatments are unsuccessful or not feasible due to anatomical complexities, persistent infections, or traumatic injuries. These surgical techniques, such as apicoectomy, retrograde filling, or root-end resection, are typically used to preserve primary or young permanent teeth. In pediatric patients, careful consideration is given to the child's growth, development, and tooth eruption patterns. Maintaining these teeth is crucial for function, aesthetics, and guiding the eruption of permanent successors. Advanced diagnostic tools and magnification aid in precise treatment, minimizing trauma and promoting faster healing. Though less common in children than adults, surgical endodontics plays an essential role in managing difficult cases and preventing premature tooth loss when conventional therapies are inadequate.
