Treatment of root canals under a microscope in Kyiv

Treatment of root canals under a microscope is the latest technique in dentistry, allowing the dentist to have complete control over their actions. One of the most common causes of tooth decay is poor filling of the canals, which serve as the "gateway" for the penetration of pathogenic agents.

The unpredictability of the anatomical structure of the pulp and dental canals leads to numerous defects in the treatment of complex teeth. About 30-40% of patients have additional canals that cannot be seen and, therefore, cannot be filled without high-precision optics.

Infectious damage that develops in 90% of cases due to incomplete filling is accompanied by an inflammatory process in the jawbone and the formation of cysts, which, in turn, leads to the need for tooth extraction. Perfectly treated root canals are a reliable foundation for future restorations and high-tech prosthetics.

Dentists who apply innovative techniques claim that only what you see can be reliably treated. Examining the tooth canals in detail and performing "jewelry" filling under a microscope is a real possibility today.

A dental microscope is a complex optical device that magnifies the image of the examined object by 30 or more times. The magnification adjustment can be smooth or stepwise. The main working units of the dental device are:

• objective lens;
• eyepiece (a system of lenses in one frame);
• tube (connecting element);
• image reproduction and data recording system.

With the help of innovative equipment, a dentist can examine the tooth cavity and surrounding tissues in detail, detecting pathological processes at an early stage. The entire process of root canal treatment under a microscope, as well as other medical manipulations, is performed under visual control, including in hard-to-reach areas of the oral cavity.

A modern optical microscope is connected to a miniature video camera, which displays the image on a screen. Patients can receive detailed and visual information about the stages and results of dental treatment.

The use of a dental microscope for treating teeth is advisable in all cases where high precision of medical actions is required, including:

• in cases of re-treatment due to previously poorly filled canals;
• in case of suspected inflammation in the bone tissue;
• when removing cysts or granulomas;
• when closing perforations;
• when working with an open apex;
• for safe extraction of fragments of medical instruments from the canal;
• when filling narrow and sclerosed canals;
• when performing direct artistic restorations;
• preparing teeth for veneers and lumineers.

The dental optical device is also used in the planned preparation of teeth for prosthetics, before installing crowns and bridgework.

During canal filling under a microscope, the dentist can see the entire cavity of the tooth, not just partially as in traditional treatment. This minimizes the risk of creating a perforation and filling it with filling material.

The dentist obtains an objective view of the tooth's canal system and carefully examines the difficult-to-reach, additional, and narrow canals (including those with branches), which is the basis for proper treatment.

The use of a microscope enables gentle and non-invasive filling, avoiding damage to healthy tissues. This helps prevent thinning of the walls of the tooth's canals during dental procedures.

Other benefits of using a microscope for root canal treatment and tooth restoration include:

• The ability to magnify the image of the examined object in a narrow space (the width of the root canal is 0.5-1 mm);
• Obtaining an accurate clinical picture (the dentist sees the foci of damage, boundaries of pathological areas, cracks in the tooth, cysts, foreign bodies, etc.);
• Detection of areas where the filling does not fit tightly against the tooth tissue;
• Accurate diagnosis of the nature of pathologies, including at early stages;
• The dentist has full control over the quality of filling the root canals.

An important advantage of the optical instrument is a significant improvement in treatment conditions. The dentist performs necessary actions without violating the zone of psychological comfort when the faces of the dentist and patient are excessively close to each other.

The use of a dental microscope for canal filling creates additional benefits for the dentist. This is primarily due to the reduction of fatigue and tension associated with incomplete visual control over the course of treatment. The specialist examines the treated tooth under a targeting light beam, adjusting its direction and intensity of radiation (modern electronic devices use halogen, xenon or LED lighting).

Dental treatment using an electronic dental microscope has several features that need to be taken into account in dental practice:

• Dentists and assistants need to undergo special training to work with the optical instrument.
• It will take the doctor several months to acquire strong practical skills and adapt to the microscope.
• Medical manipulations are performed with special instruments of reduced size that do not obstruct the field of view (a standard set of dental instruments for treating teeth is not suitable).
• The patient must remain as still as possible in the chair.

As electronic dental microscope belongs to the category of expensive medical equipment, the cost of canal filling and other dental services will be higher compared to standard treatment. Despite this fact, an increasing number of patients are seeking clinics that use advanced technologies in dental treatment and prosthetics.

Firstly, the quality of services when using innovative techniques is significantly higher, and secondly, the investments are almost always recouped due to the reliability of treatment - teeth and crowns will last as long as possible after filling canals under a dental microscope.

iStomatolog clinic in Kyiv offers fundamentally new possibilities in the field of dental treatment, restoration, and prosthetics. Working with state-of-the-art equipment is based on the application of fundamentally new approaches in dental practice and the training of specialists to different standards. Many techniques that were considered progressive just a few years ago are now obsolete and imperfect.

From the very first days of our clinic's operation, we have been using the latest scientific developments and achievements in dentistry. A lot of attention was paid to the training of doctors, who must master the technique of endoscopic treatment perfectly, be able to use medical equipment correctly, quickly and accurately diagnose and work with high-tech filling materials.

This approach has fully justified itself, so our client base is expanding every month. Treatment of teeth and root canal filling under a microscope has become a common practice in our dentistry, as well as the use of other innovations.

Important advantages of undergoing treatment at the iStomatolog clinic in Kyiv include:

• Effective pain relief (we use gentle anesthesia)
• High level of comfort (minimal discomfort for the patient)
• Attentive and sensitive approach to patients
• Ability to find solutions for complex cases
• High level of organization in patient care (no queues or bureaucracy)
• Fair prices
• Preservation of information about completed treatment (restoration, implantation) in the clinic's computer database (facilitating the dentist's work in planning further restorations).
