Equipment |
|
To increase the chance of successful root canal treatment, we use a variety of
advanced equipment:
|
Microscope |
This magnifies the tooth and allows us to see cracks and to locate hidden canals. |
|
Digital Radiographs |
These offer higher quality images that facilitate diagnosis and deliver lower doses of radiation to the patient. |
|
Rotary Instruments |
These special root canal instruments speed up your treatment. |
|
Ultrasonics |
These are used to enhance location of canals, cleaning of canals and occasionally are used for instrument and post removal. |
|
Fibre Optics |
These enhance the visibility of the tooth. |
|
Apex Locator |
This measures the root canal length and can help in diagnosing problems within the canal. It also reduces the need for radiographs. |
|
Crack Locator |
We use a fibre optic crack locator that assists in highlighting the presence and / or location of cracks. |
|
Electric Pulp Tester |
This machine tells us if the tooth pulp is alive or dead. |
|
Post Removal Kit |
This enables us to remove posts. |
