Endodontic Microscope
Endodontic microscopes allow us to see the minute details contained within teeth. Its use allows us to perform microsurgery within the root canal system. This is another integral part of armament used at our practices.
Why we use Endodontic microscopes at our London clinic
The benefits of using a microscope:
Locating hidden canals that have been obstructed by calcifications and reduced in size
Aids in the removing materials such as solid obturation materials, silver points, carrier-based materials, posts and creating space around separated instruments
Conservatively removing canal obstructions
Assisting in access preparation to avoid unnecessary destruction of vital tooth tissue
Repairing deficiencies within the small space of the tooth e.g. perforations and biological defects
Visualising and locating cracks and fractures that are not visible to the naked eye
Supporting Endodontic surgery, particularly in root-end surgery and placement of material to apically seal the root
Enhanced photographic documentation
