Microscope-Assisted Root Canal Treatment: A Revolutionary Approach by Your Dentist in Sevenoaks

Root canal treatment is an essential dental procedure to save a tooth that has been damaged by decay or trauma. At Lifetime Dental Studio, your dentist in Sevenoaks, we utilise the latest technology, including microscope-assisted root canal treatment, to provide the best possible care for our patients.

What Is Microscope-Assisted Root Canal Treatment?

Microscope-assisted root canal treatment is a state-of-the-art approach to endodontic treatment. By using a dental microscope, our dentists can magnify the treatment area 6 to 25 times, providing better insight into the tooth’s complex root canal system. This advanced technology allows us to spot additional canals, denticles, root cracks, broken tools, and root obliterations more effectively than with traditional methods.

Microscope-Assisted Root Canal Treatment Procedure

The procedure for microscope-assisted root canal treatment involves the following steps:

1. Taking an X-ray scan of the infected tooth to identify the number and position of the canals
2. Removing the infected surface of the tooth and accessing the pulp (blood vessels and nerve)
3. Removing the pulp and thoroughly cleaning and sterilising the tooth and its canals
4. Filling the canal system with liquid gutta-percha
5. Restoring the tooth’s crown, which may involve prosthetic restoration if the decay has reached an advanced stage
6. Taking another X-ray photograph to assess the quality of the canals’ filling

Duration of the Treatment

The duration of microscope-assisted root canal treatment depends on the position of the tooth and the number of canals. The treatment can take between 1 and 3 hours. The use of a microscope during the treatment does not significantly extend its duration but improves its effectiveness, allowing for more thorough cleaning and filling of the canals during a single appointment.

Cost of Microscope-Assisted Root Canal Treatment

At Lifetime Dental Studio, the cost of microscope-assisted root canal treatment depends on each patient’s unique situation. We understand that each case is different, and we will discuss the costs with you during your consultation. Our goal is to provide high-quality treatment at a reasonable cost for our patients.

Additional Services During Root Canal Therapy

At Lifetime Dental Studio, we utilise other advanced solutions during root canal therapy to ensure the best possible outcomes:

• Dental dam: A protective rubber cover placed on the tooth during treatment to prevent contamination from bacteria in the saliva and oral cavity.
• Ultrasonic intracanal disinfection: The application of ultrasounds during the disinfection process allows for deeper penetration and intensified disinfection of the root system.
• Mechanical preparation of canals: Using orthodontic handpieces and NiTi tools for canal preparation reduces the risk of tool fracture and infection spreading, while also shortening the treatment duration.
• Radiographic machine: By using an X-ray machine during treatment, we can immediately assess whether the therapy is being administered correctly.
