How Dr. Donn Treats Recurrent Infection
What Is Endodontic Microsurgery?
When root canal therapy alone does not resolve the issue, surgical intervention may become necessary. Surgery can serve a diagnostic purpose or may be used to remove calcium deposits that obstruct conventional root canal treatment. If a previously completed root canal has failed — something that can occur years after the original procedure — microsurgery offers a means of preserving the tooth.
The Tools That Make Microsurgery Possible
The precision required for this procedure demands specialized instruments. Magnification is essential for adequate visualization of the root tip, and the surgical toolkit encompasses a range of purpose-specific devices: curettes to remove compromised hard and soft tissue, probes and explorers to measure and access affected areas, and pluggers and burnishers to place and finish the retrofill material.
