Dental microscope

Dental microscope has become part of our work. Some treatments such as root canal treatment, we cannot even imagine without it. The device is relatively expensive but the benefits are priceless.

And why? Every person is different and our teeth are also very different. In two different people a root in one tooth can have a different number of root canals, and root canals can also differ in shape. It is this variability, anomalies and even the shape or the number of root canals that used to be a common cause of failure of endodontic treatment.

But we cannot wonder because to reveal the structure of the size of a few hundredths of millimeters to the naked eye is almost impossible. And just finding a supernumerary root canal and treating it may be the key to success.

Use of dental microscope

Why use a microscope?

• Great overview of the surgical field
• Easier diagnosis
• Detection of structures invisible to the naked eye
• Higher quality of work
• Increasing the success of treatment and long-term prognosis
• Wider range of performance
  

What mainly do we use a microscope for?

• Endodontic treatment and its complications as removing broken root tool
• Re-endodontic treatment
• Treatment of perforations

Other advantages of dental operating microscope

Endodontics done under the operating microscope is better, mainly on basis of long-term prognosis. Benefits of microsurgical treatment of root canals are noticeable not only in primary endodontic treatment, but particularly in re-endodontics, meaning refilling the root system.

The operating microscope as an instrument that can deliver magnification was introduced into dental practice in the early 90's (1982). In Slovakia, working with it just gradually gets into the awareness of dentists and so unfortunately is not part of routine dental ambulance.
