Resección apical

Tratamiento avanzado para salvar tu diente

Cuando el tratamiento de conducto convencional no es suficiente, la resección apical ofrece una solución quirúrgica precisa para eliminar la infección y conservar el diente natural.

Apical Resection (Apicoectomy)

¿Cuándo se Recomienda la Resección Apical (Apicectomía)?

¿Experimenta un dolor dental persistente o una infección después de una endodoncia, o le han dicho que su diente no se puede salvar? La resección apical podría ser su solución si se enfrenta a:

Infección persistente

El tratamiento de conducto no logró eliminar la infección.

Conducto radicular obstruido

Imposibilidad de acceder a la punta de la raíz durante el tratamiento convencional.

Daños en las raíces

Fractura de la punta de la raíz u otros problemas anatómicos.

Dolor crónico

Molestias persistentes a pesar de las intervenciones dentales previas.

¿Qué es la resección apical (apicectomía)?

La resección apical, también conocida como apicectomía, es una intervención quirúrgica menor que se realiza cuando persiste una infección o inflamación en la punta de la raíz de un diente tras un tratamiento de conducto radicular. Durante la intervención, se extirpa el extremo de la raíz del diente, junto con cualquier tejido infectado. En algunos casos, se coloca un pequeño empaste para sellar el extremo del conducto radicular, lo que evita nuevas infecciones. Este procedimiento preciso tiene como objetivo salvar el diente natural, evitando la necesidad de una extracción.

I decided to go to Maltepe dental clinic after my extensive research. And it was nothing short of an awesome experience. The international team ensured everything was alright from the start to the finish. They helped plan the appointment such I also have some time to visit the amazing Istanbul. My dentist Aslı Başak SATIK was thorough and paid attention to details which was crucial to ensure my crowns and veneers were well set up and orderly. Very ingenious, caring and exhibited high professionalism. She reassured me and did an amazing job. Thank you Aslı Başak SATIK, the lovely international patient cordinators and also everyone at Maltepe for such a wonderful appointment/trip.

Took my mum to Maltepe Dental Clinic about 4 months ago for full mouth implants. Honestly the team was amazing, we're so happy with everything. They were really patient and caring with her the whole time, and no hidden costs or anything, all very clear from the start. Seeing her smile again now makes me very very happy, it's like she's a whole new person. Couldn't recommend them enough.

I had an excellent experience with Maltepe Dental Clinic from start to finish. What impressed me the most was the professionalism and honesty of the entire team. I had a very specific request: I only wanted four veneers on my upper front teeth. Before contacting Maltepe Dental Clinic, I spoke with several other clinics, but most of them were trying to push me toward a full set of veneers instead of listening to what I actually wanted. From my very first conversation with Maltepe Dental Clinic, they were transparent, knowledgeable, and reassuring. They carefully explained that my desired treatment was absolutely possible and took the time to answer all of my questions without any pressure. The whole experience was top-notch. The dentist was incredibly skilled, attentive, and focused on achieving the most natural result possible. The entire team was friendly, professional, and made me feel comfortable throughout the process. I am absolutely thrilled with my new smile. The veneers look natural, suit my face perfectly, and honestly turned out even better than I expected. It’s exactly the result I was hoping for. I highly recommend Maltepe Dental Clinic to anyone looking for high-quality dental work, honest advice, and exceptional patient care. Thank you to the entire Maltepe Dental Clinic team for giving me a smile I can be truly confident about! 🫶🏼😁

I had dental crowns done in Turkey back in 2017, but my dentist in Canada later told me they were not fitted properly, leaving gaps where bacteria could build up. Over time, the gaps widened and I started feeling sensitivity to hot and cold drinks. Dr. Burce Aktan was excellent. She spoke great English, clearly explained the treatment plan, and replaced my crowns while also adding veneers. The clinic was extremely professional, well-organized, and welcoming to international clients. The receptionist/translator was also fantastic and made the whole process smooth, even though Dr. Aktan already spoke English very well. I had 2 veneers, 4 crowns, teeth whitening, and a cleaning for under $2,000 USD, which would have cost me well over $10,000 back home. Overall, I’m very happy with the care, quality, and value I received. Highly recommend this clinic.

I recently had dental work done at Maltepe Dental Clinic, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel comfortable, informed, and genuinely cared for. Every step of the process was clearly explained, and they took the time to answer all of my questions without ever making me feel rushed. The clinic itself is modern, clean, and very well organized. My dentist was incredibly skilled and detail-oriented, and I could tell they really take pride in their work. The procedure went smoothly, with far less discomfort than I expected, and the aftercare instructions were thorough and easy to follow. Most importantly, the final result looks fantastic. My teeth look natural, clean, and exactly how I hoped they would. Friends and family have already commented on how good my smile looks. If you’re considering dental treatment here, especially if you’re traveling from abroad, I highly recommend Maltepe Dental Clinic. They did a great job and exceeded my expectations in every way.

I brought my wife for a full smile make over and she got emax veneers on the top and zirconia crowns along the bottom. From arrival we were picked up at the airport and taken to our accommodation, everything was seemless. The lady Christina spoke very good english and helped us every step of the way. We are delighted with this clinic. 5 star service

Excellent Experience – Highly Recommended! I chose to have my treatment at this clinic and I am simply thrilled. From the very first moment, I felt I was in the best hands. The Clinic & The Team The clinic is modern, spotlessly clean, and equipped with state-of-the-art technology. However, what impressed me most was the team. All the staff are incredibly friendly, professional, and empathetic. They truly take their time for each patient, explain every step in detail, and put you completely at ease. The result of my treatment even exceeded my expectations! Service & Logistics The organization surrounding the trip also deserves immense praise: Airport transfer: Punctual, stress-free, and very comfortable. I was picked up directly at the terminal and brought back to the airport in plenty of time for my return flight. Conclusion: If you are looking for first-class dentistry combined with a worry-free, comprehensive service, this is the place for you. Many thanks to the entire team, especially to Ms. Tugba and Ms. Seda, for this great experience! Alonso.

I did my research before committing to getting veneers here. My original thought was that I was going to get 10 veneers up top and 10 on bottom. But upon seeing the doctor, she recommended that I did not need 20 veneers, my teeth were perfect as is, and that 4 veneers was possible for my minor imperfections, if I really wanted to go ahead with my decision. It was nice knowing that Maltepe Dental Clinic is an ethical clinic and not just trying to squeeze money out of their customers. I am so happy with the final look of my teeth, 4 veneers is not alot but you’d be surprised how much of a difference they make. I’d recommend anybody to come to MDC. I didn’t catch her name but my translator spoke like 4 or 5 languages it was crazy. Thank you to her as well. Thank you Maltepe Dental Clinic!

Dental Implants I recently had an amazing experience at Maltepe Dental Clinic and wanted to share my gratitude. From my initial WhatsApp inquiry to the final dental implant treatment, the team was supportive every step of the way. Their prompt responses and help with accommodation and airport transfers made everything a breeze. The guidance provided during each stage of the treatment, along with tips on maintaining oral hygiene, was top-notch. When it came to fitting my implants, the team's professionalism and attention to detail were impressive. They made sure I was completely satisfied before proceeding, which gave me great confidence in the process. A big thank you to everyone at Maltepe Dental Clinic for their exceptional service and care. I am truly grateful for the positive experience!

Su Trayectoria de Resección Apical

Un proceso sencillo y organizado diseñado para que su transformación sea lo más fluida posible

01

Diagnóstico y consulta:

Examen completo, radiografías y consulta para confirmar la necesidad de una resección apical.

02

Procedimiento:

Se administra anestesia local, se realiza una pequeña incisión, se extirpan la punta de la raíz y el tejido infectado, y se sella el extremo de la raíz. En algunos casos, el tratamiento de conducto radicular se realiza simultáneamente con una resección apical para extirpar el tejido infectado, desvitalizar los nervios y salvar el diente.

03

Recuperación y seguimiento:

Se proporcionan instrucciones postoperatorias y se programan citas de seguimiento para supervisar la evolución de la cicatrización.

Preguntas Frecuentes

Preguntas Comunes sobre la Resección Apical

¿Cuándo es necesaria una resección apical?

Se recomienda generalmente cuando: (1) Una endodoncia ha fallado y la infección persiste; (2) Existe un quiste en el ápice que no se resuelve con tratamiento de conducto; (3) El conducto está bloqueado o tiene un instrumento roto; (4) Hay dolor o inflamación persistente tras una terapia correcta. Esta cirugía suele ser la última opción para salvar el diente de una extracción.

¿Cuánto cuesta una resección apical en Turquía?

Suele costar entre 250 € y 350 € por diente. En comparación, estos procedimientos en el Reino Unido suelen empezar en £650 y en EE. UU. en $600. Dado que algunos casos requieren eliminación de quistes o injertos óseos adicionales, le recomendamos contactarnos para un presupuesto personalizado.

¿Cómo se realiza la resección apical?

Bajo anestesia local: (1) Se hace una pequeña incisión en la encía; (2) Se abre una «ventana» en el hueso para acceder a la punta de la raíz; (3) Se elimina el ápice infectado y el tejido inflamado; (4) Se sella el extremo de la raíz con material especial; (5) Se limpia y sutura la encía. Dura entre 30 y 60 minutos por diente.

¿Cuánto durará el diente después de una resección apical?

Si la higiene es buena, el diente puede durar muchos años. Los estudios reportan una supervivencia de hasta el 94% cuando se utilizan técnicas de microcirugía. El pronóstico depende del soporte óseo restante y de la calidad de la endodoncia previa.

¿Qué dientes se pueden tratar con resección apical?

Se puede realizar en incisivos, caninos, premolares y algunos molares, siempre que la anatomía (senos, nervios) lo permita. Es más común en los dientes anteriores debido a que el acceso quirúrgico es más sencillo y predecible.

¿Existen situaciones donde la resección apical no se recomienda?

Sí. No es aconsejable si el diente tiene enfermedad periodontal severa, si la raíz es demasiado corta (debe quedar al menos 2/3 de raíz) o si está peligrosamente cerca de estructuras vitales. En estos casos, un implante suele ser una mejor opción.

¿Qué tan exitosa es la resección apical?

La microcirugía apical moderna tiene tasas de éxito superiores al 90%. Es una forma predecible y segura de conservar un diente natural en lugar de extraerlo.

¿Cuál es el tiempo de recuperación tras la cirugía?

Los tejidos blandos sanan en 7 a 14 días, y los puntos se retiran tras una semana. La inflamación alcanza su punto máximo a las 48-72 horas y luego disminuye. La regeneración ósea profunda continúa durante meses, evaluándose en controles a los 6-12 meses.

¿Es dolorosa la resección apical?

No. Se realiza bajo anestesia local; solo sentirá presión o vibración. Después, es normal sentir molestias leves o inflamación que se controlan perfectamente con los analgésicos recetados y frío local.

¿Qué debo hacer y evitar después de la cirugía?

Use compresas frías las primeras 24h, no enjuague con fuerza el primer día y mantenga una dieta blanda y tibia. Evite el tabaco y el alcohol, ya que retrasan la cicatrización. Siga las instrucciones de limpieza suave a partir del segundo día.

¿Qué sucede si no me hago la resección apical?

Si la infección persiste, puede causar mayor pérdida de hueso, dolor severo, abscesos y, eventualmente, la pérdida inevitable del diente.

¿Es la resección apical una alternativa a la extracción e implante?

Sí. Si el diente tiene suficiente raíz y hueso, salvarlo con cirugía apical es menos invasivo y más económico que extraerlo y colocar un implante, permitiéndole conservar su propia estructura dental.

¿Es adecuada para pacientes internacionales que viajan a Estambul?

Sí. Se completa en 1 o 2 citas. Muchos pacientes se quedan de 3 a 7 días para la cirugía y la revisión inicial. El seguimiento a largo plazo puede coordinarse con su dentista local mediante radiografías.

Salve su Diente. Elimine la Infección. Restaure la Salud.

Si tiene una infección persistente en el extremo de la raíz, contáctenos para saber cómo la resección apical puede ayudar a preservar su diente natural.
