I am having this procedure on Wednesday and I'm TERRIFIED of feeling pain DURING the procedure. My root canal that was done in 1999 on my bottom molar wasn't done correctly and needs this type of surgery. I'm terrified of feeling pain during the surgery. I can deal with post-operative pain but have a ton of anxiety of what I'm going to feel during it. I know an anesthetic will be used but I'm really scared it won't make the area totally numb. Please reply :(

being totally numb is not typically a challenge. 'm sure you'll do fine.

Your suturing skills are atrocious, my friend. One would think it's the first time you've ever held a needle-driver.

As New York State's finest clinician, perhaps you should post some of your own work.

Just had this done myself 4 days ago - gum is still quite swollen and waiting for stitches to dissolve but gum has "welded" itself back together and seems good. Taking painkillers still and had extra dose of antibiotics. Will report back on if the infection returns. I do hear this only had about 70% chance of working???

That is a perfect apicectomy but I prefer to expose more bone after removal of the lesion I.e must refresh all the bone and leave no undermind bone

Fascinating. Thanks for posting this. I'm having this procedure tomorrow and this certainly puts my mind at ease. It also gives me a greater appreciation for what you endos do! Keep up the great work!

what happened to her class 3 cavity on her 11 and 12?. i did enjoy watching the apicoectomy tho. well done

[drpmb1]

what is the gold tipped instrument you are using to go into the apex with? Is that to remove infection and gutta percha?

i admit the skill you have. but i had a note, shouldn't you have filled the bone space with a graft material? this space will cause tissue shrinkage during the healing process. thanks alot for sharing this vid
