If you have ever suffered from a tooth infection, root canal treatment may not be a foreign idea to you. It’s the one-stop solution for safeguarding and restoring the functionality of natural teeth. However, did you know there is more than one method of root canal treatment?
Here at Urstoothfully, Kolkata’s best modern dental clinic, we feel that patients should have access to all modern information that enables them to make informed decisions regarding their oral health. In this blog, we will discuss the two types of root canal treatments—Conventional and Microscopic—so you can make the most informed decision for your tooth and your mental tranquility.
What Is a Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment (RCT) refers to the process of managing an infection located within the pulp (root canal system) of the tooth. It becomes a necessity when there is severe inflammation and infection (pulpitis) of the sensitive part of the tooth due to advanced decay, injury, or excessive dental work.
The procedure entails:
- Pain cleaning the diseased pulp
- Disinfecting and cleaning the canals.
- Sealing and filling the space.
- Restoring the tooth using a filling or crown.
The Conventional Root Canal Treatment
This is the oldest known practice of RCT; it has been in existence for years now. The dentists surgically remove duplicated tissues using either the eye or hand-held devices such as loupes to do magnification.
Pros:
- Most Clinics offer such services.
- Affordable to the working class.
- Most clinics offer the services.
Limitations:
- Catastrophic vision, especially when dealing with calcified or slim canals.
- Patients risk getting infections from undo diseases.
- Damage to tooth structure occurs through a lack of control.
- Selective for complicated things or re-treats.
Microscopic Root Canal Treatment: The Next-Gen Dental Precision
Welcome to Microscopic Root Canal Treatment; a new dental operating microscope with 25x magnifications advances the whole industry. Because these dentists solve challenging root canals with challenging approaches, these technologies are changing the industry clearly.
Here at Urstoothfully, we have modern serving tools using the microscope, which helps us take control at every stage of a given treatment.
How It Works:
- The dentists employ a highly powerful microscope that allows for the viewing of the minute openings of the root canal system, even in the most complex cases.
- The use of micro-instruments aids in the precise removal of the infection and the shaping of the canal.
- When combined with enhanced visualization, the completeness of infected tissue removal is taken to another level.
Side-by-Side Comparison: Conventional vs. Microscopic RCT
| Feature | Conventional RCT | Microscopic RCT |
| Visibility | Limited to the naked eye or loupes | Up to 25x magnification |
| Accuracy | May miss narrow or extra canals | Locates even the tiniest canals |
| Risk of Reinfection | Higher | Significantly reduced |
| Tooth Preservation | May remove excess tooth structure | Preserves healthy tooth structure |
| Suitability | Simple cases | Simple to highly complex cases |
| Cost | Lower upfront | Higher initial cost, but long-term value |
Why Microscopic RCT Is the Smarter Choice
It is largely known that upgrading to new technology, be it not this one, is implemented for a reason. The enhancement to the root canal might stem from five factors given below:
Higher success rate
Enhanced visibility means that there is a lower chance of missing canals and incomplete cleaning of the root.
Minimally Invasive
More of the tooth structure is left behind, leading to longer-lasting results.
Better diagnosis
Fractures, hidden canals, and irregularities that other RCTs miss out on are simply done with the aid of this treatment.
Comfortable and efficient
Discomfort is reduced after the treatment, and the time taken to recover is shortened.
Ideal for retreatment cases
In case of a failed RCT in the past, treatment offers a ‘second chance’ to the tooth.
