Surgical Microscope in Dentistry

The application of the surgical microscope in dentistry significantly increases the possibility of carrying out any treatment since when we see more, we can do more. Due to 3-6 times scaling up the doctor is able to see hard-to-reach areas of each tooth and mouth cavity, identify diseases in the early stages and carry out the most effective treatment without the risk of complications.

The main significance surgical microscopes have in endodontia for treatment of the root canals (narrow and tortuous that couldn`t be treated before). Previously a dentist worked blindly, relying only on his experience and professionalism. The electron microscope in dentistry allows us to control the entire process and cure the most impassable canals. The success of prosthetics and the durability of the treated teeth depend on the quality of root canal treatment.

Dental treatment with a microscope

The latest advances in therapeutic dentistry are aimed at preserving natural teeth, that are sometimes in need of serious restoration. Tooth treatment from the inside is a delicate work that until recently was carried out almost blindly by even the most experienced doctors. Every tooth has 1-3 (rarely 4) canals of 1 mm diameter, the size that can be subtly seen with the naked eye. The application of the surgical microscope in dentistry allows us to perform dental treatment in the most difficult cases. Using optics, the doctor sees the canal, its ramus, where it has curves, where it ends, whether the sealing material fits tightly against the canal walls. At the same time, the working surface is beautifully lit. One of the common complications of endodontic treatment in the past was root canal perforation. This happened when the doctor accidentally drilled through the tooth tissue, leaving a hole inside, provoking inflammation and eventually leading to the removal of the injured tooth. Thanks to the use of the microscope during the canal treatment nowadays the risk of perforation is the smallest possible. If this still happened during traditional endodontic treatment, the situation can be promptly corrected, also using an operating microscope. Another unpleasant moment is the wreckage of the tool left in the channels during its processing. Here, the microscope equally helps both to prevent the occurrence of a similar problem and to eliminate it.

The use of the operating microscope brings modern dentistry to a new level of quality and radically changes the relationship between the doctor and the patient. Today the patient with the help of the camera of the operating microscope may see his problems by himself as the doctor sees them. The doctor and the patient become partners in the process of treatment! Specialists of Avanto clinics successfully use an operating microscope in their daily practice. In combination with the technological capabilities of modern dentistry, this approach allows us to perform dental treatment without errors and the risk of complications in a comfortable environment for the patient. Each Avanto clinic has an operating microscope at its disposal.
