Endodontic therapy has changed greatly in the last few years, changes from “uncertain endodontic therapy” to “secure endodontic therapy” Microscope has significantly enhanced the ability of a dentist to view the tiniest details inside a patient’stooth. It helps by magnifying vision up to 30 times that of a naked eye which allows to work with great precision and better outcomes compared to treatment without using a microscope.
Your tooth root canal is a very thin and delicate path. Sometimes, these paths are complicated with multiple canals or curved paths. Such tortuous canals are difficult to navigate by your endodontist. Added to this there is a lack of visibility into your tooth. At such times, especially, a magnification of your tooth root, will help your endodontist perform the root canal procedure accurately
Our human eye has its limitations when it comes to seeing objects of a certain size. However, magnification can help us with many aspects of vision such as
1) Highest quality of oral examination
• It helps in finding those cracks and fractures in tooth which are likely to be invisible at the naked eye level
2) High success rates in root canal treatment.
3) Saving your failed RCT tooth.
The largest benefit of microscopic root canal treatment is the magnifying function of the dental microscope which enables the dentist to examine the tooth and its root canals under multiple magnification (even 30x). This way, those areas that are invisible to the naked eye can be explored and treated as well, which greatly increases the success and the efficiency of the treatment. Whether we’re talking about the manual or the mechanical root cleaning method, the whole intervention becomes remarkably accurate. Even root canal filling can be done more precisely. the special LED light built inside the head of the microscope illuminates exactly the surface to be treated. This direct illumination provides excellent visibility for the dentist to examine all the details of the problematic area.
If pain persists following the traditional root canal treatment and your tooth continues to cause complaints, it’s highly possible that there are unexplored, uncleaned / unsterilised root canals left. Such root canals are usually invisible to the naked eye. With the help of microscopic magnification, it’s possible to discover and clean hidden / curved root canals.
Your endodontist has to invest in good magnifying equipments to perform precision treatment procedures. Since these are expensive and also your endodontist has to undergo special training to perform these procedures, micro-endodontic procedures are marginally more than the conventional therapy. But because the treatment outcome is more accurate, its worth the investment for you.
There is no treatment providing a 100% result, since several parameters influence the recovery process. However, microscopic root canal treatment provides an outstanding result with its 99% success rate compared to the traditional root canal therapy.
Our dentists can do successful interventions even in those difficult and problematic cases where general dental practice is not sufficient anymore!So, you know you’re in good hands and being treated with top-of-the-line equipment and staff with our practice.
