Dental X-Ray and Microscopy for Root Canal Therapy

To put it simply, we want to see the teeth that are wrapped inside the bone and what is going on inside the teeth? So he invented a "see-through" machine, dental X-rays. It's a bit like when we were at the airport, we used an X-ray machine to "see through" our luggage and check for dangerous goods.

Dental X-ray: It can be roughly divided into single-tooth X-rays for two or three teeth, or ring mouth X-rays for the entire oral cavity, and other Head shot from different angles. 〉
Dental cone beam computed tomography CBCT: can be simplified as an advanced version of dental X-rays. Through different principles and calculations, 3D stereoscopic views of the oral cavity and teeth, as well as different perspectives and perspectives of different axial items can be presented, allowing doctors to obtain more information.
Timing of filming: For dental treatment or root canal treatment (pumping nerves), X-rays need to be taken before, during, and after treatment.
Purpose of shooting: Pustule positioning, tooth structure, root canal related information: length, number, location during root canal treatment, periodontal information, bone structure next to the teeth, sinus, mandibular neural tube, temporal jaw joint, etc.
Microscope-assisted examination
Our eyes have a limit, the smallest can be 0.1mm-0.2mm thickness, almost the thickness of false eyelashes, and more subtle, we can't recognize it with the naked eye. The resolution of a dental microscope is on average 6 μm, or 0.006 mm, which is more subtle than our eyes can distinguish.
Dental microscopes can help physicians achieve better minimally invasive operations, and their applications in dentistry are already very widespread.
The timing of root canal therapy is as follows:
1. Special inspections (such as tooth marks, perforation of root canals, broken roots, etc.).
2. Find additional neural canals (such as the second mesial root canal of the maxillary molar).
3. Special morphological root canals (such as C-type neural tube).
4. Remove the obstruction.
5. Handle small or calcified neural tubes.
6. Repair damage, root apex surgery.
7. Where the apical opening does not close the teeth (such as live pulp treatment, live pulp preservation, etc.).
8. Used throughout the root canal procedure.
Toothache precautions
Clinically, it is often found that many patients are very involuntary before, during, and after treatment, as if they had to try to see this tooth by themselves. Is it good? Does it hurt? So I thought of knocking, pressing, shaking, shaking, biting, a tooth on the tongue, want to "play, test" or see how these conditions become.
These tests should be performed by a physician. It is not recommended that the patient try it on their own. This may exacerbate your symptoms; because the teeth that have been rested and repaired have been "knocked and bitten" by you, but you cannot get rest , It is not easy to "get well".
