Root Canal Treatment

What is Microscopic Root Canal Treatment?

A successful root canal treatment requires the clinician to be precise, and focus on every detail. Due to the complex nature of the endodontic treatment, practitioners have always looked for ways to improve the visibility of the operational field. Microscopic root canal treatment is a more precise way of using a dental operating microscope for root canal procedure, which can provide up to 25x magnification and enhanced illumination making it possible to almost look into the root canals of the teeth during the procedure.

Microscopes have become an integral and even indispensable part of endodontic practice and a key factor in diagnostic and clinical procedures yielding better outcomes.

Procedure of Microscopic Root Canal Treatment

Operating a root canal under a microscope is performed by our endodontist who are extensively trained in root canal microscopy. The procedure is very much done in the same dental chair with being administered a local anesthetic agent and the dentist removing the infected pulp tissue. The root canals are cleaned and shaped under magnification and disinfected with the help of saline and other medical compounds. The dentist then seals the canals thereby preventing the occurrence of future infections by using a root canal filling material. After filling and sealing the canals, the tooth is covered with the help of a crown.
