Operating Microscopes
In addition to digital radiography, we utilize special operating microscopes. Magnification and fiber optic illumination are helpful in aiding the doctor to see tiny details inside your tooth. Also, a tiny video camera on the operating microscope can record images of your tooth to further document the doctor’s findings.
Electric Apex Locators
In certain cases electric apex locators can minimize the number of x-rays
needed to complete root canal treatment.
Ultrasonics
Ultrasonic instruments can be valuable to remove or loosen obstructions that would otherwise prevent reliable endodontic therapy.
Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)
A CBCT is a focused 3D image of the tooth and surrounding structure. It is an enhanced radiography system that gives the doctor information that cannot be ascertained with a regular x-ray, such as the size and location of a crack.
