Endodontic Technology Used at West LA Endodontics
Endodontic treatments have come a long way in recent years due in part to modern advancements in endodontic technology. Visiting an endodontist is much different than it would have been even just a few years ago thanks to advanced digital imaging tools that help automate office procedures. These tools allow for better accuracy, greater comfort and improved outcomes for patients.
Endodontic procedures such as root canals can be made more comfortable and efficient with the use of digital imaging, 3D printing, and advanced instrumentation. For example, digital x-rays allow our endodontist to quickly and accurately diagnose problems and create precise treatment plans, while our advanced instrumentation can make root canal procedures faster and more efficient.
3D printing also plays a role in endodontics by allowing for the creation of custom guides for root canal procedures, which can improve accuracy and reduce the risk of complications. The integration of technology in endodontics not only benefits our patients by making procedures more comfortable, but it also enables us to provide a higher standard of care by allowing for earlier and more accurate diagnoses and treatments.
Some of the advanced technologies that can be found in our endodontic offices include:
3D Cone Beam Imaging
Technology that captures 360-degree images of the teeth, jaw, and connective tissues.
Apex Locators
Electronic devices capable of identifying the apex, or endpoint, of a tooth root. With an accuracy of more than 96 percent, this device makes it possible for an endodontist to administer root filling within 0.5mm of the apex.
Ultrasonics
Advanced devices capable of aiding in retreatments that require the removal of metal instruments, such as posts, in the canal system. Ultrasonics can make it possible to identify calcified canals and assist in preserving the natural tooth.
Surgical Microscopes
Surgical microscopes magnify the treatment site to allow endodontists to see into the tooth root system with greater detail. Surgical microscopes allow for increased precision when treating complicated root systems.
EDGEPRO Sumpreme Clean. Light Speed.
The most advanced laser-assisted technology available for root canal treatment. Bacteria and biological debris often reside deep within complex tooth anatomy making it difficult to remove. With EdgePRO, we can remove infected tissue, debris and 99% of the bacteria while preserving tooth structure. EdgePRO® works using Laser Light Physics, Energy and Microfluidic Dynamics. The technology EdgePro® uses is backed by years of research and peer-reviewed studies.
