Microscopic root treatment
See beyond the surface: Microscopic root treatment — where hidden details are revealed!
The technology and science used in dental treatments are constantly evolving, so that through innovations we can take care of the health of our teeth more and more efficiently and comfortably. Microscopic root treatment is one of the most modern techniques that has revolutionized dentistry. With this fascinating technology, dentists are able to recognize and manage even the smallest details, giving new hope to teeth that may have already seemed unsalvageable.
This blog is for those who would like to learn more about this forward-looking procedure and understand how it provides significant advantages over traditional methods. My goal is to introduce the world of microscopic root treatment, highlighting its precision, effectiveness and benefits for our patients. Let's dive into the realm of detail provided by the dental microscope together and discover how it can contribute to the long-term health of our teeth.
What is microscopic root treatment?
Microscopic root treatment is an innovative development of traditional root treatment, in which a high-precision dental microscope is used. With this sophisticated device, the dentist can examine the internal structure of the tooth at a magnification of up to 20-35 times, revealing even the smallest details. As a result, root canals and their branching and constrictions can be identified and treated much more accurately, thereby increasing the success of the intervention and the patient's comfort.
The main advantages of microscopic root treatment
Precise accuracy
The magnification and illumination used during microscopic root treatment allow a detailed examination of the internal structure of the tooth. With it, dentists can accurately identify and treat subtle deviations, increasing the success rate of treatments and reducing the incidence of complications.
Fabric protection
Thanks to the precision of the microscopic technique, it is possible to thoroughly remove infected tissue, minimizing damage to healthy tooth material. This gentle method speeds up the healing process.
Complex tooth root treatment
Complex anatomical arrangements, such as narrow and branched root canals, can be easily handled with the microscope. This approach gives an opportunity to save teeth that could not be effectively treated with traditional methods.
Who is microscopic root treatment recommended for?
Microscopic root treatment is an ideal choice for any patient who is about to undergo root treatment. The advantages of this technology are especially pronounced in patients who underwent root canal treatment earlier, but the intervention did not bring the desired result. It is also extremely beneficial for those whose teeth have a complex anatomical structure, for example, narrow canals or complicated branching, the treatment of which traditional methods are less effective. The microscope allows even these complex cases to be handled in a balanced, precise manner, ensuring long-term success.
Microscopic root treatment step by step
- step; Thorough diagnosis and planning
The first step for the success of treatment is to establish a comprehensive diagnosis, for which the most modern CT scans are used. In contrast to panoramic images, a CT scan gives a more detailed picture of the internal structure of the tooth, thus providing accurate information about the condition of the tooth root, possible branching and existing inflammations. With this cutting-edge technology, even the smallest hidden problems such as fine cracks or hidden channels can be easily identified, allowing you to develop a precise and effective treatment plan.
- stride; Isolation and preparation
For root treatment, the affected tooth is completely isolated to create a sterile and dry working environment. We use innovative cofferdams, i.e. special rubber splitters that prevent bacteria and saliva from reaching the treatment area. These advanced devices ensure precise work, minimizing the risk of infection and allowing the dentist to intervene accurately and efficiently.
- step; Microscopic exploration
Using a microscope, the dentist examines the root canals and structures in the area to be treated at a magnification of 25-35 times. This increased level of detail allows accurate identification of small branches and hidden infections that cannot be seen with conventional testing methods. Microscopic exploration ensures that all inflamed or problem areas are treated thoroughly, thereby increasing the success rate of the intervention.
- step; Root canal cleaning
Using special tools and disinfection techniques, the root canals are thoroughly cleaned, removing all dirt and infected tissue. These procedures ensure the hygiene of even the most complex canal branches, thus ensuring the long-term health of the tooth.
- step; Root filling
During treatment, after cleaning the root canals, two types of procedures can be used, depending on the diagnosed condition of the tooth. If the area is inflamed or infected, a temporary medicated filling is often used as a first step to help eliminate the infection and prepare the tooth for permanent closure. If conditions permit, the final root dressing can be carried out immediately after cleaning. This procedure is carried out using a special sealant that prevents bacteria from settling again, ensuring long-term stability and health of the tooth.
