Treatment under the microscope

The use of the microscope in restorative dentistry allows you to diagnose the disease accurately even at an early stage. The use of the magnifying technology allows a dentist to see the smallest carious lesions and to preserve healthy tooth in treatment.

All manipulations in cannel treatment that previously had an unpredictable character can be performed now under the full visual control. A gradual magnification up to 25 times helps to see the smallest details inside the tooth. In addition, the microscope is equipped with a special light, which can illuminate the operating field for a dentist as it much better than any dental lamp.

In conventional root canal treatment, a dentist only sees a small dark hole with a diameter of 1 mm and treats it almost blindly, guided only by the experience and X-ray. Using a dental microscope, a dentist literally "regains his vision" thanks to the optical 25-fold increase in the canal diameter (2.5 cm), and the special light gives the opportunity to see the most part of the lumen of the root canal. A dentist can see and, therefore, successfully treat and take into account all the features of the canal: bends, the smallest branches and so on. Treatment quality increases in times!

An operating microscope is indispensable in the following cases :

• To determine the number of canals, including their smallest branches, and to identify additional canals.

• To determine the root canal entries with the mildest methods, which preserve healthy tissue.

• To treat and fill canals of teeth with atypical structure.

• To analyze the cleanliness degree of the internal canal space.

• To retreat previously poorly treated canals and to control canal cleanliness.

• To remove fragments of endodontic instruments.

• To diagnose the perforation closure in the root canals.

• To mill canals with maximum preservation of the tooth tissue.

• To seal and accurately fill the root canals.

• To determine hidden cracks of the tooth, which cannot be diagnosed by external examination, detailed X-ray or even CT.

Working under magnification also has advantages in the treatment of the carious tooth cavities and it allows you to diagnose diseases at the early stages. Dentistry under the microscope gives the opportunity to carefully differentiate infected tissues. Thus, we mill with maximum preservation of the tooth tissues and fill it as accurate as possible. Even when milling teeth for prosthetic designs, a microscope is useful for work that is more precise.
