Study Notes
Modern Techniques in Endodontic Surgery and Imaging
- Use of magnification, illumination, and microsurgery greatly improves prognosis in periradicular surgery
- Microscopes provide detailed examination of root apex and anatomic features
- Well-angulated periapical films reveal three-dimensional morphology of the tooth and identify anatomic complexities
- Digital radiography enhances radiographic diagnostics in identifying anatomical complexities
- 3-D cone beam-computed tomography (CBCT) images periapical lesions and anatomical structures in axial, coronal, and sagittal sections
- CBCT scans produce images with excellent contrast and clarity and low radiation exposure to the patient
- 3-D imaging accurately defines type and extent of complex diagnoses such as internal or external resorption
- 3-D imaging facilitates assessment of periradicular lesions in multirooted teeth and differentiating them from nonodontogenic pathoses
- 3-D imaging reveals accessory canals, location of root canals, and canal obstructions
- Ultrasonic systems, in conjunction with magnification, eliminate the bulky head of the conventional handpiece during difficult access procedures
- Ultrasonic instruments with abrasive coatings precisely excavate dentin when exploring for mineralized canals or removing mineralized obstructions
- Root canal shapes need to withstand internal compressive forces of obturation and provide sufficient resistance form for mastication and parafunction
