Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic treatment, is a dental procedure that involves removing infected or damaged tissue from inside a tooth's root canal system. The procedure involves accessing the innermost part of the tooth, cleaning out the infected tissue, and filling the space with a biocompatible material to prevent further infection.
Root canal treatment has been performed for over a century, but advancements in technology have greatly improved the success rates and outcomes of the procedure. One such advancement is the use of a dental microscope.
A dental microscope is a high-powered magnifying instrument that provides a detailed view of the inside of the tooth. The use of a microscope during root canal treatment allows the dentist to see and access parts of the tooth that may have been difficult to reach with traditional methods.
The use of a microscope during root canal treatment reduces the amount of time required for the procedure. Work is done efficiently and accurately, leading to faster treatment times and less discomfort for the patient.
