Precise to the tips: microscopic endodontics

Root canal treatment is one of the most complicated procedures in dentistry. Often millimeters decide on the success of the treatment. In order for the tooth to recover, we must thoroughly clean all inflamed areas. We leave nothing to chance and therefore use special aids.

Magnifying glasses, intraoral camera and surgical microscope significantly improve the chances of success.

This is how the root canal treatment on a tooth works

Here is a description of the process of a root canal treatment:

    • Anaesthesia: Before the root canal treatment we anaesthetize the area. During the procedure you will usually feel no more than a slight pressure on the affected tooth.
    • Isolation: With the help of a rubber dam, we isolate the tooth and thus prevent bacteria from entering the oral cavity.
    • Exposure of the canals: Then the dentist prepares an access to the dental nerve (pulp), looks for the canals and exposes them.
    • Cleaning: The tooth nerve or tissue remains are removed with special canal instruments (files).

And after endodontics? No risk for your health!

In some cases, root-filled teeth represent interference fields for the entire organism and therefore have to be specially treated or even removed. Whether and how these teeth damage the body is something that alternative medicine methods try to determine. Our colleague Dr. med. dent. Dirk Leiner is at your side as an experienced expert.

During regular check-ups and prophylaxis, we quickly determine if your tooth is suffering unnoticed. Then we help you in time and prevent health risks.

  • Length measurement: The length of the root canals is determined by electronic measuring methods or x-rays.
  • Disinfection: Final widening, cleaning and disinfection of the canals with special liquids.
  • Root canal filling: Finally, the canals are filled with gutta-percha and a binding agent and a control X-ray is taken. The final root canal filling is then made after 1-2 weeks.
