Surgical microscopes have opened a new era in the field of root canal treatment and are used to achieve a much more precise and high quality treatment.
The microscope allows performing root canal treatments with maximum precision, finding all the small cavities in the roots and preventing unnecessary complications during and after the treatment.
Also, when a root canal treatment cannot be performed through the tooth’s crown, a surgical root canal treatment (apicoectomy) is done, and the microscope allows for precisely cutting the end of the root, where most bacteria causing periapical inflammations have accumulated. In addition, this helps precisely seal the end of the canals to prevent chronic leak of bacteria into the tissues surrounding the root.
