Technology
ADVANTAGES OF CDR:
Digital radiography has been a significant improvement for diagnosing patient complaints. A sensor looks at the tooth much the same way a conventional dental x-ray does. Digital x-rays are accurate and faster to interpret than standard dental films.
The CDR can be magnified ,color adjusted, and zoomed to reveal detailed concerns. More time can be spent on patient care and less on gathering information.
| • | Safer, Better, Faster and more detailed |
| • | 90% less radiation |
| • | Image appears within seconds of being taken. |
| • | Images can be adjusted for contrast, brightness, zoomed in or out for detailed information for the doctor and patient. |
| • | Radiographs can be stored in digital form indefinitely and can be transferred by electronic communications via the internet to referring practices or insurance companies. |
MICROSCOPES
After years of development the microscope has finally become an integral part for endodontic care. With higher levels of magnification and superior illumination, the doctor can now prepare to complete root canal procedures quickly and efficiently. Advanced microscopes have increased the performance and predictability of endodontic procedures and has enhanced our capabilities to perform clinical procedures that previously were unpredictable, and frequently impossible to accomplish. Overall, the microscope is a technologically advanced method for patient care, patient education, and for building confidence in endodontic therapy.
CLINICAL BENEFITS OF MICROSCOPIC ENDODONTICS
| • | Complex treatments of perforations, and the removal of separated files , posts and other obstructions, are now done more successfully in a conventional manner, thus avoiding surgery. |
| • | Internal and external tooth structure can be visualized without shadows that could impede treatment. |
| • | Tooth fractures (coronal/root) can be more readily identified, allowing for early diagnosis. |
| • | Less of the apex needs to be removed during surgical endodontics because of better visualization. |
