Endodontic treatment package 3 canals (1st and 2nd stage) with microscope

Why is it important to treat a 3-root tooth under a microscope?

Three-canal teeth are quite common in both the upper and lower jaw, and their treatment can be rather complex. The use of a microscope allows the dentist to magnify the image of the root canals up to 20 times, making it possible to assess and treat all three canals more precisely.

A microscope also enables the dentist to better see and remove infected tissues and bacteria, which increases the accuracy of treatment and helps achieve better results. In addition, when using a microscope, a dentist from the Astra Dent network can detect and treat additional root canals that may be missed when using traditional instruments.

Overall, treating three-canal teeth under a microscope improves treatment effectiveness and reduces the likelihood of repeated root canal therapy.

How do the first and second stages of this treatment proceed?

The first stage of treating a three-canal tooth under a microscope includes the following steps:

• diagnosis: an Astra Dent dentist performs an examination and diagnosis of the tooth using X-rays and other instruments;
• anesthesia: before starting the treatment, the patient receives local anesthesia to prevent painful sensations;
• preparation: the tooth is cleaned of caries and other damage to provide access to the root canals;
• isolation: the tooth is isolated with a rubber dam to separate the treatment area from the oral mucosa and prevent infected materials from entering the oral cavity;
• root canal treatment: using a microscope, the dentist locates all three root canals, removes infected tissue, and fills them with special materials;
• root canal disinfection: the canals are treated with antiseptic and antibacterial solutions to eliminate bacteria and microorganisms that may cause infection;
• closure: after completing root canal treatment, the tooth is sealed with materials that prevent infectious substances from entering the tooth.

The second stage of treating a three-canal tooth under a microscope may include the following steps:

• placement of a temporary filling: after the first stage, the dentist may place a temporary filling to protect the tooth and temporarily restore its function;
• preparation for restoration: once the treatment is completed, the dentist prepares the tooth for the placement of a permanent crown or inlay to restore its shape and function;

How does the treatment of a multi-rooted tooth end?

Treatment of a multi-rooted tooth usually ends after the second stage, which includes the placement of a permanent crown or inlay. After the crown or inlay is placed, the tooth should be regularly checked by a dentist, and the patient should follow oral care recommendations to maintain its health.

If the root canal treatment has been performed properly and the tooth has been correctly restored, it can function for a long time. However, factors such as improper care, trauma, caries, or other dental issues may lead to recurring problems with a multi-rooted tooth. In such cases, repeat root canal treatment or other procedures may be required to keep the tooth in good condition.

What factors influence the cost of endodontic treatment of a three-canal tooth?

The cost of endodontic treatment of a three-canal tooth may vary depending on several factors, such as:

• tooth location: the cost may differ depending on whether the tooth is located in the front or back of the mouth;
• tooth condition: if the tooth is damaged, severely decayed, or infected, the treatment may be more complex and require more time and resources;
• use of a microscope: using a microscope may increase the cost of treatment, as it requires additional equipment and time.
