More so than any other device, the digital operating microscope has transformed endodontics, resulting in higher rates of success for both surgical and non-surgical treatment; in short more teeth can be saved and with more reliability. In endodontics, the best results are only possible with ideal optics.
The Zeiss OPMI® ProErgo is the benchmark microscope for ergonomics. It allows our endodontists to adopt a comfortable posture during treatment and concentrate solely on the task at hand -your root canal treatment.
A viewfinder for the assistant allows the endodontist and assistant to work more effectively and efficiently. Digital intra-oral photographs and video provide a remarkably detailed record of the treatment performed at the Richmond Endodontic Centre.
Apicoectomy and root-end surgery are terms referring to endodontic surgery. The digital operating microscope has made these old terms redundant. Endodontic microsurgery enjoys much greater rates of success and less after-appointment pain and swelling than pre-microscopic surgery.
It is difficult to overstate how important the digital operating microscope is for contemporary endodontics. Since 1998 it has been mandatory for all post-graduate endodontic residents in North America to demonstrate proficiency with a microscope. Modern endodontists must be proficient with a microscope.
