Microscopic root canal treatment: precision for tooth preservation

The outcome of root canal treatment—which is necessary after severe tooth decay, nerve inflammation, or an accident—is crucial for the overall prognosis of the tooth. Anatomical studies show how complex the canal system inside the tooth is. Any tissue remnants or bacteria left inside the tooth can lead to painful inflammation and extensive cysts in the jawbone, ultimately resulting in the loss of the tooth and the surrounding bone.

A study by Naseem (Brit. Dent. J.) showed that jaw inflammation at the root tip can be successfully cured in 8 out of 10 teeth with good root canal treatment. This means that teeth can be preserved without surgical intervention (root tip resection). Modern endodontics, i.e., root canal treatment, is carried out with great care in order to maintain the affected tooth in a stable condition in the long term.

FAQs about microscopic endodontics

What is surgical microscopic endodontics?

Surgical microscopic endodontics is a modern form of root canal treatment that uses a special surgical microscope. This microscope offers up to 25x magnification and enables the endodontist to precisely identify and treat even the finest structures and secondary canals inside the tooth. Compared to the traditional method, microscopic root canal treatment is significantly more accurate, thorough, and successful—especially when it comes to long-term tooth preservation.

When is microscopic root canal treatment advisable?

Microscopic root canal treatment is particularly useful when the anatomy of the tooth is complex, e.g., in cases of severely curved root canals, previously treated teeth (revision treatment), or when there is inflammation at the root tip (apical periodontitis). By using a surgical microscope, the endodontist in Berlin can treat the tooth with the highest precision—often as a last resort before tooth extraction.

What are the advantages of surgical microscopic endodontics for patients?

Surgical microscopic endodontics offers patients numerous advantages:
– Higher success rate in tooth preservation
– Gentler and more precise treatment
– Early detection of additional root canals or hairline cracks
– Lower risk of follow-up procedures such as root tip resections
– Often less painful thanks to modern technology
