Root canal treatment under a microscope
What is the complex structure of the root canal and why is it important to carefully treat it?
- Root canal is a complex structure in the core of the tooth, where the nerve and blood vessels come together. When inflammation or infection occurs, the tooth root is immediately sent for removal, but only treatment will save it.
- The anatomy of the canal is unique for each person.
The main challenges that the root canal treatment procedure poses:
- Complex anatomy of the canals: a tooth can have several roots, each root has many canals and branches. In addition, they can be very curved.
- Minimal margin for error: any omission can lead to repeated cleaning procedures.
- Delicate tooth structure: the canals are very narrow, and the work requires surgical precision.
How does a microscope solve these problems?
Advantages of using a microscope:
- 🔍 Detection of hard-to-reach canals: the microscope makes visible even the narrowest and most curved canals that are impossible to see with the naked eye.
- 🛡 Complete and hermetic removal of infected tissue: the doctor can carefully control the cleaning process, avoiding voids.
- 🪛 Accurate filling: thanks to the microscope, the canals are tightly filled with biocompatible material, which prevents possible complications.
