Treatment under the microscope
Description of procedure
Treatment under the microscope in dentistry is an advanced technology that enables dentists to perform procedures with high precision and efficiency. With the use of a microscope, the image can be magnified up to 25 times, allowing the dentist to see even the tiniest details in the patient’s oral cavity, thereby ensuring higher-quality treatment.
Indications for treatment under the microscope:
– Complex root canals: In situations where teeth have complex anatomy or are severely damaged, the use of a microscope helps the dentist detect and treat all canals, preventing potential complications. – Precise removal of carious tissue: The microscope allows the dentist to more accurately remove the affected tissue, minimizing the loss of healthy tooth structure. – Treatment of periodontitis: In this condition, the microscope aids the dentist in cleaning the tooth roots of bacteria and infected tissues.
Contraindications for treatment under the microscope:
– Inappropriate oral cavity anatomy: For example, if a patient has a too small or narrow oral cavity, the use of a microscope may be difficult or impossible. – Unique patient characteristics: Treatment under the microscope requires prolonged sitting with an open mouth, and some patients may experience discomfort or anxiety, which can hinder the procedure.
