It looks like the gum tissue flap blood circulation is compromised and the tissue is getting necrotized ( death of tissue). It is a kind of emergency and, so see your surgeon as early as possible.

when apicectomy surgical procedures are done, its important to understand that you already had a root canal that did not worked, and the area was with a reaction, and now you have removed the tip of the root, so there si still a chance of having a reaction form the body, now the cleaning and the flossing below ,its very important, because that area below that bridge, can easily get contaminated, and you must keep that area perfectly clean. if bone graft, was set there, needs to be checked by your doctor immediately .apicectomy does not work in all cases, and reactions can occur.changing antibiotic, and provably cleaning and re stitching.
