What is microscopic root canal treatment?
Microscopic root canal treatment is an advanced dental procedure where a high-powered dental microscope is used to enhance precision and visibility during the treatment. This technology allows dentists to detect and treat even the smallest canals and cracks in the tooth, ensuring a more thorough and effective procedure.
If too much tooth structure is lost during root canal surgery, a metal post is implanted in the jawbone to hold the crown in place.
The entire root canal treatment is performed under a dental microscope, which allows the dentist to reach the small entrances and branches of the root canal. It is invisible to the naked eye, and even a magnifying glass is insufficient to detect and treat all parts of the root canal that contain bacteria. If left untreated, these bacteria can continue to cause inflammation and eventually tooth loss.
The success rate of microscopic root canal therapy is usually around 70-90%.
How is microscopic root canal treatment different from conventional root canals?
Unlike traditional root canals, microscopic root canal treatment uses magnification and illumination to improve accuracy. This ensures:
- Better detection of tiny canals and cracks.
- Reduced chances of missing infected areas.
- Higher success rates and long-term results.
Who needs microscopic root canal treatment?
Microscopic root canal treatment is ideal for:
- Teeth with complex or multiple root canals.
- Retreatment of a previously failed root canal.
- Teeth with small or hard-to-detect cracks.
- Cases requiring precise cleaning and sealing.
What are the benefits of microscopic root canal treatment?
- Enhanced precision: Ensures thorough cleaning and sealing.
- Improved success rate: Reduces the chances of reinfection or complications.
- Preservation of natural tooth: Minimally invasive and targeted treatment.
- Comfort: Often faster and less stressful for patients.
What can I expect during the procedure?
- Examination and anesthesia: Your dentist will numb the area to ensure comfort.
- Microscope-assisted cleaning: The microscope is used to locate and clean all canals thoroughly.
- Filling and sealing: The cleaned canals are filled and sealed to prevent reinfection.
- Restoration: A crown may be placed for added strength and protection.
