A microscope is used during the surgical procedure. The procedure is then more precise and is not done “blind”.
Microsurgical endodontics uses state-of-the-art techniques for endodontic treatment of teeth. As a result, even teeth that would otherwise be condemned to extraction can be saved.
The inner parts of the tooth and the canals are “invisible” to the naked eye, so the dentist works “blind”, which makes treatment more difficult.
With a microscope, the tooth can be treated better and more precisely, both from the outside and from the inside. The dentist has a perfect view of the tooth, and the procedure has a higher success rate than treatment without a microscope.
An operating microscope also makes it possible to deal with complications of endodontic treatment, for example removing a broken root canal instrument or treating canals that were not treated properly, and so on. An operating microscope not only improves the quality of treatment but also shortens the time needed for the procedure. In addition, there are fewer post-operative problems such as swelling and pain, healing is faster and the risk of complications is significantly reduced.
