Root Canal Treatment with a Microscope

Root Canal Treatment with a Microscope –  a Modern Solution for Complex Cases

In modern dentistry, the microscope is an invaluable tool, helping with diagnostics and precise treatment. In our clinic, we use the microscope extensively for root canal treatment, cavity removal, surgical procedures, and prosthetics. This precise instrument allows us to spot even the tiniest details that are invisible to the naked eye.

Why is a microscope important in root canal treatment?

Root canal treatment, especially for molars with multiple roots, can be a complicated and time-consuming procedure. The microscope magnifies the treatment area up to 36 times and directs a powerful light onto it, enabling the dentist to see and work with even the smallest structures, including narrow accessory canals. This precision contributes to higher treatment quality and reduces the risk of complications.

Advantages of using a microscope in root canal treatment:
  • Greater precision: a microscope helps identify even the smallest accessory canals and detect problems that could otherwise be missed.
  • Better visibility : powerful lighting enables the dentist to work more confidently in complex and narrow areas.
  • Correction of previous complicates cases: with a microscope, old fillings can be removed and dentists can perform complicated root canal treatment in cases where previous treatments performed without magnification failed.
Cost and duration of the procedure

Microscope-assisted root canal treatment is more expensive due to the need for specialized equipment and the dentist’s additional skills, but the precision and chances of success are significantly higher. Root canal treatment is often performed over multiple visits, so payments are spread out over these appointments.

Can the tooth hurt after root canal treatment with a microscope?

Since microscope-assisted treatment is more precise, the risk of complications is lower. However, pain after the procedure may still occur, which is a natural part of the healing process.

Does root canal treatment with a microscope guarantee the elimination of inflammation?

While the microscope significantly increases the accuracy and quality of treatment, like any procedure, it cannot guarantee a 100% success rate. Proper diagnosis and precise treatment greatly increase the likelihood of success.
