A few or even a dozen or so years ago, root canal treatment involved pain, an inordinate number of dental visits and eventually ended with the loss of the tooth. Today that is no longer the case. Since 2002 we have been providing highly specialised root canal therapy based on microsurgical procedures.
During the surgical procedure every tooth is protected with a rubber dam, thanks to which the dental surgeon and assistant can concentrate fully on the tooth and not on any changes of the cotton rolls. As a result the operation can be performed in sterile conditions and without any contamination by saliva. To get an accurate measure of the root canal length we use an electronic device known as an apex locator and not the hitherto unused “until the prick” method. We only use gutta-percha to obturate
teeth, thanks to which the teeth we treat do not become discoloured.
In the last few years we have specialised in treating difficult root canal treatment cases. A large number of the patients we treat have been referred to us by our fellow dentists for the purposes of solving endodontic problems.
