Endodontics

Endodontic treatment is routinely performed using ‘The Global’ dental operating microscope. This allows a better insight into the root canal system unique to your tooth enabling better management of the root canal treatment. It will then provide us with more information about your tooth thus improving the predictability and outcome.

Electronic torque controlled drills are used to provide rotary instrumentation of canals. These provide consistent preparation of the root canal combined with greatly reduced risk of drill fracture. Matching sized gutta percha points are then placed with an appropriate medicament. The remainder of the canal is then filled using the Obtura system.

The use of enhanced equipment and experience allows us to undertake a wide variety of more complex endodontic procedures including; molar canals in older patients, root treatments under existing crowns and re-root treatments.

Despite these great technological advances we would still place most of the emphasis of successful root treatment on appropriate post graduate education and the acquisition of skills from the best teachers in the country.
