Advanced Endodontic Technology

How Advanced Technology Improves Endodontic Treatment

Operating Microscopes for Enhanced Treatment Precision

In addition to digital radiography, we utilize special operating microscopes. Magnification and fiber-optic illumination are helpful in aiding the doctor see tiny details inside your tooth. Also, a tiny video camera on the operating microscope can record images of your tooth to further document the doctor’s findings.

Electronic Apex Locators for Accurate Root Canal Measurements

Allows us to electronically determine the actual length of a tooth and the end of the root without the use of X-rays. These devices work by calculating the resistance of tooth structure to provide a visual and audible signal.

Ultrasonic Technology for Root Canal and Surgical Procedures

Quartz crystal devices are used to vibrate small instruments to help clean and prepare the canals during surgical procedures. It can also aid in the removal of posts and other canal obstructions.

Nickel Titanium Instrumentation and Electric Handpieces

Our special digital electric and wireless handpieces control high-tech Nickel Titanium instruments with great precision to facilitate the cleaning and shaping of the canals.

Reciprocating Handpiece Technology for Complex Root Canals

Vertical Reciprocation rapidly cuts through all curved, calcified, and tight canals and eliminates the need to worry about file failure even at faster speeds (8K to 30K revolutions per minute)

Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) for Endodontic Treatment

This relatively new ceramic material is hydrophilic. It is used for pulp cappings, resorptions, perforation repairs, retrofillings during apical surgical procedures and as an apical sealer during apexifications. It is biocompatible and resistant to microleakage.

3D Cone Beam Imaging for Accurate Diagnosis and Treatment Planning

The CS 9000 system gives our Endodontic practice state-of-the-art technology to help diagnose potential issues more accurately and provide treatment with unprecedented confidence. Unlike a traditional spiral CT scanner, this 3D system utilizes cone beam CT technology and provides precise, crystal-clear digital images while minimizing your exposure to radiation. Our new 3D system enables us to perform a wider range of diagnoses and treatments in our office, helping to reduce multiple visits.

The CS 9000 scanner allows us to choose the field of view, or scanning area, that best suits your specific treatment needs. This helps to limit your radiation exposure because we are focusing specifically on your area of concern.

The CS 9000 system brings the latest 3D technology to Advanced Endodontic Associates, PA, providing unmatched visualization of anatomical detail, which aids in treatment planning and helps us to better explain the particulars of your case, as well as address any questions you may have. Your doctors can use this innovative technology to quickly and easily share 3D images of the area of concern with your referring doctor, allowing the doctors to collaborate on your care, improving your experience, and delivering a positive treatment outcome
