Diagnostics

For a dentist to see the problem and solve it with a microscope - means to have an expanded choice of the optimal treatment option, the ability to identify what is not yet a detailed picture of the disease. Multiple increase allows you to diagnose caries at an early stage, as well as fractures and microcracks, invisible during normal examination. Quite often it is the microcracks that cause the pain. And having determined the cause of the pain, it is easier to plan its further treatment. With the use of dental microscopes, the amount of information that the doctor receives in diagnosis has increased significantly, and the possibilities for treating diseases in the early stages of development have also expanded.

Endodontic treatment

Work under the microscope is now an indispensable condition for the safe and high-quality work of the endodontist when filling and especially refilling the tooth canals. Teeth have a complex anatomical structure, the root canals are curved in them, while the diameter of the canal is no more than 1 mm. One tooth has from one to three canals, rarely four, five ... For a dentist who does not use a microscope, the examination of canals is "the way to the unknown".

Consider the entrances to them, pass, process and qualitatively fill each root canal is not easy, and sometimes it is impossible. Thus, there is a danger of maintaining a foci of infection and premature tooth loss. With the help of a dental microscope, providing a 20 to 30-fold increase, the endodontist can accurately determine the number of canals and clearly see both the canals themselves and their branches: where the canal bends, where it ends, if the filling material adheres tightly to the canal walls. That allows to carry out the most qualitative treatment and keep the tooth.

Also with the use of a microscope, it became possible to treat granulomas and cysts, and this is even more preserved teeth. A special role of the operating microscope should be noted when the channels are re-filled and re-treated. If the doctor found that the treatment was poor, the tooth had to be removed. Now the tooth can be refilled and eliminate previously committed errors, such as: tool breakage in the canal, piercing the root of the tooth, not completely cleared canals. The use of a microscope helps to correct and prevent such cases, since the specialist visually controls his actions, and not simply assumes the results. Now the result of any, even complex endodontic treatment can be predicted and achieve the highest quality and effectiveness.

Restorative dentistry

The use of a microscope for tooth restoration makes it possible, with minimal tooth preparation, to achieve ideal aesthetic results. The most important thing in restoring the prepared tooth with a crown or veneers is the marginal fit of the tooth tissues and the restoring material: the better the contact, the less the possibility of salivary glands and bacteria to act on the tooth tissues, getting under the crown or the veneer pad.

The use of a dental microscope improves the quality of the preparation by a factor of how much it increases. With its help, you can make high-quality molds at the preparatory stage of restoration and correctly fix the crown or patch at the final stage of work.

The patient is at the maximum benefit as he receives restoration treatment with an ideal condition of surrounding tissues, aesthetics and durability.

Minimal trauma

One of the most significant benefits of treatment under a microscope is minimally invasive. With traditional boron treatment without a microscope, a significant portion of healthy tissues can be removed. Multiple enlargement makes it possible to avoid this and work only within the affected tissues to be removed. The more clearly the doctor sees the object of his treatment, the more reliable and effective the intervention will be. The instruments are selected in smaller sizes, the preparation becomes minimal, and the root canal system is cleared more thoroughly.

As a result, all operations become more sparing, less traumatic, the doctor retains all healthy tooth tissue. Such careful treatment significantly prolongs the life of the tooth.

For the patient, all this means only one thing - he has more and more chances to keep a brilliant smile until old age.

Interaction with patients

Using a microscope reduces fear and reduces the patient's discomfort during treatment, as the doctor is slightly further from the patient than usual. The patient lies in the chair, a microscope lens is located above his head at a distance of about 25 cm, the dentist looks into the eyepieces of the microscope and is located behind or on the side about a half meter from the patient. On many patients, such removal from the doctor is calming, since the doctor does not invade their personal space.

In addition, the doctor working on a microscope gets tired much less, he will be more concentrated and attentive, which increases the quality of treatment.

Working with a microscope involves photo and video documentation. As a rule, patients have a lot of questions about the upcoming treatment and, to avoid the problem of explaining the material "on the fingers," it's best to show a short video or photo. This approach makes the treatment process clear to the patient and helps to understand its importance.

There are other issues - disputed cases - perforations and root cracks, "unintentionally" opened horns of pulp, adherence of crowns. Pictures or videos received before and during treatment are undoubtedly necessary as additional documentation in the medical history and legally. A picture replaces a thousand words.

​

Although many dentists do not use a microscope in their work, in difficult cases this incredibly powerful tool becomes simply irreplaceable. With its help, the most accurate diagnosis is made and the risk of injuries and complications is significantly reduced.

​

Treatment under the microscope is indicated for patients with problems such as:

1. Deep caries, pulpitis, periodontitis;

2. Complex branched system of root canals, as well as obstruction of canals;

3. Teeth with complications in the form of cysts and granulomas at the root;

4. The need to remove parts of tools accidentally left in the tissues;

5. Cracks in the walls of the dental root, which during normal treatment with boron can cause their further destruction;

6. The need for high-quality aesthetic restoration of the tooth.

 

In the work of Dental Kreariv clinics a powerful microscope Carl Zeiss OPMI Pico Mora is used, capable of giving a 32-fold increase. This means that doctors of DentalKreativ clinics can perform any treatment with jewelry accuracy.

Also this microscope is equipped with an integrated HD video camera, which allows the patient to stay informed about the entire treatment process by showing clear photos and video.
