Microscopic endodontics – precise root canal treatment under the LEICA High End microscope with HD camera
Endodontics covers root canal treatment, the procedure of removing the nerve and then filling and sealing the canal.
A tooth with a poorly performed root canal can lead over time to serious problems, such as cysts at the root tip, and eventually to the tooth having to be extracted.
THE SUCCESS OF ROOT CANAL TREATMENT DEPENDS FIRST ON THE TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE OF THE SPECIALIST, then on the equipment, the materials used and attention to every small detail. IT IS THE DETAIL THAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE.
Experienced endodontists
As the technology has developed, the length of the canal can now be measured electronically with a device called an apex finder, which ensures a correct filling that lasts. Special sensors are used and the movement of the files inside the canal is visible on a screen, giving the dentist far more control.
Root canal treatment carried out under a dental microscope is the most advanced way of working in endodontics today. Microscope-assisted dentistry has been in use in Romania for several years.
- The microscope lets us treat conditions that in the past led to extraction
- Rotary systems shorten root canal treatment considerably
- Isolation with a rubber dam gives clean access for correct treatment
Microscope-assisted root canal treatment
The latest-generation LEICA endodontic microscope magnifies up to 25 times and provides light strong enough to reveal fine detail that the endodontist cannot see with the naked eye. This makes it possible to save teeth that could not otherwise have been kept. The image under the microscope is enlarged and very clear. Image quality, colour fidelity and the ability to see the finest detail all matter a great deal for correct diagnosis and treatment. Working under the microscope allows us to resolve many difficult cases that started with a guarded prognosis.
A well-performed root canal restores the function of the tooth and, with proper care, prevents future complications. Using the microscope in root canal treatment has raised both the quality of the work and the success rate in saving teeth that are hard to treat by conventional methods.
The benefits of endodontics under the microscope
- Teeth with an initially guarded prognosis can be saved
- Powerful lenses magnifying 25 times reveal additional canals and allow correct treatment
- The precision it offers raises the success rate of root canal treatment
How much does root canal treatment under the microscope cost?
The cost of microscopic root canal treatment depends on which tooth is being treated. Treating a single-rooted tooth costs less than treating a molar or premolar, and retreatment can cost more than an initial root canal.
