Apikotomija: odstranitev vrška zobne korenine

Vnetje ob vršku zobne korenine še ne pomeni nujno izgube zoba. Z apikotomijo odstranimo prizadeti vršek in okoliško vnetno tkivo ter tako omogočimo ohranitev zoba.

O posegu

Apikotomija je kirurški poseg, namenjen odstranitvi vnetnega žarišča ob vršku zobne korenine z namenom ohranitve prizadetega zoba. Pri posegu odstranimo del korenine skupaj z okoliškim vnetnim tkivom, ki je lahko tudi cistično spremenjeno. Zob mora biti pred posegom ustrezno endodontsko zdravljen oziroma imeti zdravljene koreninske kanale.

Poseg izvajamo v lokalni anesteziji. V predelu prizadete korenine napravimo rez v dlesni in jo previdno odmaknemo, nato pa skozi manjši dostop v kosti dosežemo koreninski vršek. Odstranimo njegov prizadeti del in okoliško vnetno tkivo ter natančno obdelamo preostali del korenine.

Za zmanjšanje možnosti ponovitve vnetja pripravimo in zatesnimo koreninski kanal tudi z njegovega vrška. Takšno zaporo imenujemo retrogradna polnitev, zanjo pa uporabljamo nekovinski material MTA. Ob koncu posega dlesen namestimo nazaj in rano zašijemo z resorbilnimi šivi, ki jih praviloma ni treba odstranjevati.

Na mestu odstranjenega vnetnega žarišča se med celjenjem postopoma oblikuje nova kost oziroma brazgotinsko tkivo. Pacientu po posegu podamo navodila za nego operiranega predela in ravnanje med okrevanjem.

Cilj apikotomije je odstraniti vnetno žarišče, omogočiti celjenje okoliških tkiv in ohraniti zob v njegovi funkciji. Uspešnosti zdravljenja ni mogoče vnaprej zagotoviti, zato sta pomembna ustrezna presoja pred posegom in spremljanje celjenja.

Opinions of satisfied customers

Our patients' opinions testify to the trust, professionalism, and personal approach that we implement in our work every day.

MD Medicina has friendly and, above all, professional staff. The anesthesiologists make sure you feel really safe. The surgeon gives you all the information and does his job professionally, taking care of you until you leave and of course afterwards. The nurses, physiotherapist and others make sure you don't miss anything, even if you really can't do anything at that time. Professionalism, friendliness, homeliness. This is probably all that we as patients want and deserve when we need surgery. And that's how I felt too, because everything, from the preparation for the procedure, the surgery and the postoperative care, was carried out superbly. Thank you to the entire team and all the best!

Thank you to all of you who use the latest medical devices, methods and forms of work in your medical work. At the same time, you are training a new generation of doctors because you are personally convinced that a collaborative approach with the patient is not only beneficial for you, but also for us. This makes us feel "important".

Alenka Čurin Janžekovič & Marijan Janžekovič

When you enter the MD medicine building, you feel more comfortable than not, because you don't immediately have that familiar and unpleasant feeling and smell of a hospital. You are greeted by a friendly nurse who greets you kindly and explains everything you are interested in. Everything has a relaxing effect, so that that last feeling of anxiety before a doctor's examination or surgery really goes away. The doctor you visit is a top expert who devotes himself entirely to you, really listens to you, has time for you and, in the end, gives you professional advice. I always leave the premises of MD medicine calm and with a clear picture that there are people here who will always take care of you. Therefore, a sincere thank you to all of you.

I have had a personal doctor at MD medicine since 2017. From the very first visit, I entered the above-standard world of the health concession: a polite reception at the clearly arranged main entrance, a bright waiting room without crowds, an examination time at the agreed time in a modern and pleasantly equipped clinic, a friendly nurse who knows me by name, a relaxed and highly professional doctor who has time both to listen and to treat me. In the same building, I can also have a laboratory and many other health services performed. I can arrange orders, referrals, prescriptions, advice via email or by phone, which someone always answers... The high-quality system of MD medicine works not only for the benefit of the patient's health, but also dignity.

Frequently asked questions

Do you have questions? Here you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions related to our services and procedures. If you cannot find the answer, please contact us - we are happy to help you.

No. You can book the examination privately without a referral. The specialist will examine the face and neck, assess the jaw joint, perform an intraoral examination, and analyse an orthopantomogram or CBCT scan. You will receive a written report with a treatment plan.

Before the procedure, we carry out a preoperative examination and laboratory tests. On the day of surgery, the procedure takes about 30 minutes and is performed under short general anesthesia without hospitalization. After two hours of rest, you can go home, and stitches are removed after one week.

Orthognathic (orthofacial) surgery corrects misalignments between the upper and lower jaws that cause difficulties in chewing, speaking, or breathing (including OSAS). A candidate is usually an adult whose jaw growth is complete and for whom orthodontic treatment alone is not sufficient.

Most patients return to light daily activities within 7–10 days after arthroscopic or open TMJ surgery. Full chewing load and sports activities are usually allowed after 4–6 weeks, depending on the type of procedure and individual progress.

If bone height is sufficient, the implant is placed immediately. In cases of insufficient bone, we perform a sinus lift and add a bone substitute (often enriched with the patient’s own PRP plasma). The implant is usually placed after 4–6 months, once the new bone has integrated.
