Microscopic root canal treatment is performed to save a tooth in which the nerve—commonly referred to as the pulp (the reddish structure in the picture on the left)—is diseased or irreversibly damaged. For root canal treatment to be successful it is important to detect and treat all root canals. The procedure involves removing the diseased or dead pulp tissue, cleaning, disinfecting and shaping the inside of the canal areas and then filling and sealing all root canals, even those which are as thin as a hair. We at INSTITUT DR. HUEMER have experienced specialists who perform the procedure using a 25-fold magnification microscope that was especially developed for root canal treatment. In the following radiographs the treated root canals can be seen as bright areas. |
