Microendodontic cases refer to the treatment of small, intricate, and complex endodontic issues. These cases are commonly found in dental departments that specialize in endodontics, the dental specialty focused on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases and disorders of the dental pulp. Over the years, this area of dentistry has seen tremendous change as a result of technological and procedural breakthroughs that have made treatments more accurate and least intrusive. It has various advantages, including as the ability to detect even the smallest tooth cracks or fractures, improve condition assessment, and foresee treatment results before a process has even started. Improved visualization reduces the chance of missing anomalies such accessory canals, curved, narrow, or oddly positioned canals that could have been detected using only tactile feeling in traditional endodontics.
When a department decides to install a new microscope, it signifies a significant investment in advancing research and scientific capabilities. The process of installing a new microscope involves several crucial steps, including planning, procurement, installation, training, and maintenance.
In the department, microendodontic cases are managed by a team of highly skilled professionals, including endodontists, who have extensive training and experience in dealing with these challenging situations. The team works together to develop the most effective treatment plan for each patient, taking into consideration factors such as the patient’s medical history, the extent of the damage, and the patient’s overall oral health.
