Modern Micro Endodontics employs many forms of advanced dental technology in New Jersey. Please contact us at one of our five locations to schedule an appointment.
Dental technology refers to the advanced techniques, tools, and equipment that help practitioners provide improved patient care. Digital imaging, electronic tools, and other innovations help endodontists protect their patients’ oral health.
High-tech dental equipment enhances patient safety by providing more complete treatment information. For example, a CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) scan reveals a patient’s nerve anatomy before a root canal procedure, helping to avoid possible complications.
Technology like electronic apex locators helps endodontists accurately measure the length of the root system, ensuring that they reach the tip when performing a root canal. Cleaning the entire root makes the possibility of root canal retreatment and apicoectomy less likely.
Innovations in technology make procedures faster by providing real-time information.
Digital imaging provides insights into a patient’s oral health, allowing endodontists to see problems like abscesses and root fractures without invasive procedures.
We perform every procedure with the aid of a dental microscope. Using a microscope, we can accurately diagnose and treat the complex anatomy inside the tooth and root system.
This dental laser cleans and debrides the pulp chamber and root canals, effectively killing 99 percent of bacteria. We have recently purchased these devices for each of our offices.The EdgePRO system allows for quick, gentle treatment and helps to prevent future infections.
A CBCT scanner is a sophisticated machine that produces a high-quality 3-D scan of the patient’s targeted area of question. These images include hard and soft tissues of the mouth in incredible detail. At Modern Micro Endodontics, we have a CBCT scanner at every location. The CBCT scanner can spot instances of root fracture and help the endodontist determine whether a patient is a good candidate for a root canal or whether the tooth needs extraction. Additionally, CBCT imaging aids in diagnosing as well as in treatment of complex canals systems. CBCT scanners can also catch undiagnosed diseases.
Endodontists use standard digital radiography as well as the CBCT scanner. Digital radiography uses a fraction of the radiation used by standard film X-rays. The images gained are sharp and clear, helping the endodontist understand oral anatomy and make treatment decisions.
Apex Locator
An electronic apex locator is a small machine that measures the length of the root, enhancing the accuracy of a root canal procedure.
