Root canal treatment under the microscope in AS-Dent Studio
Root canal treatment, or endodontic treatment, is performed when inflammation or damage involves the pulp of the tooth. The aim of the treatment is to remove infected or inflamed tissues from inside the tooth, thorough preparation of the root canals and their tight filling.
In AS-Dent Studio, root canal treatment is carried out with the use of a microscope, which allows us to work in high magnification. This is particularly important in cases of complex canal anatomy, retreatment endodontic treatment and situations requiring a very precise assessment of the interior of the tooth.
What does root canal treatment under the microscope involve?
The microscope makes it possible to visualise the structures inside the tooth more accurately. This enables the dentist to more precisely find the canals, assess their course, control their preparation and reduce the risk of leaving uncleaned spaces The microscope allows the dentist to find the canal more precisely, assess the course of the canal, control its preparation and reduce the risk of leaving uncleaned spaces.
Endodontic treatment requires accuracy, a proper plan and control of each stage. Before starting therapy, the condition of the tooth, the degree of tissue damage, the patient's symptoms and the prognosis for tooth preservation are assessed.
When might root canal treatment be needed?
Root canal treatment is indicated when the pulp of a tooth becomes inflamed, necrotic or damaged. This situation may be the result of deep decay, trauma, a leaking restoration or previous treatment, which requires re-evaluation.
severe, spontaneous or recurrent toothache
inflammation or necrosis of the dental pulp
deep caries or extensive damage to the tooth tissue
need for root canal re-treatment
situations where the aim of treatment is to preserve one's own tooth
periapical lesions visible on diagnostic imaging
Assessment of the tooth before treatment
Before root canal treatment, we analyse the symptoms, perform a clinical examination and, if necessary, use a imaging diagnostics. This allows us to assess the number of canals, their course, the condition of the periapical tissues and possibility of preserving the tooth.
In the case of root canal re-treatment, it is particularly important to assess the previous filling of the canals, the presence of inflammatory lesions and any obstacles to access to the root canal system.
How is endodontic treatment carried out?
The exact course of treatment depends on the condition of the tooth, the anatomy of the canals and the severity of the lesions. The diagram below shows the general stages of the endodontic procedure.
Diagnostics
Assessment of the tooth, symptoms, diagnostic radiographs and indications for root canal treatment.
Development of channels
Removal of altered tissue, cleaning and preparation of root canals.
Filling
Tight filling of prepared canals with endodontic material.
Tooth restoration
Planning a further restoration that protects the tooth and restores its function.
Greater control over root canal treatment
Working under magnification allows the interior of the tooth to be assessed more accurately, which is particularly important in the case of narrow curved or additional canals. The microscope supports the precision of the treatment and facilitates the control of subsequent stages of treatment.
Root canal treatment under the microscope is particularly important in anatomically difficult cases, for endodontic re-treatment and when the preservation of the natural tooth requires very precise work.
The microscope allows a better assessment of the structures inside the tooth and the course of the canals.
Greater control during cleaning and preparation of root canals.
After treatment, the method of securing the tooth and restoring its function is assessed.
What does root canal treatment under the microscope offer?
Endodontic treatment carried out under magnification allows the interior of the tooth to be prepared more accurately and increases control of the over the course of treatment. In many cases, it makes it possible to preserve a tooth that might need to be extracted without treatment.
- Greater precision during root canal preparation
- More accurate assessment of the anatomy of the tooth interior
- Ability to treat more complex endodontic cases
- Treatment planned on the basis of diagnosis and prognosis of the tooth
