Surgical Microscopes

In addition to digital radiography, we utilize special surgical operating microscopes. The microscope has changed the face of endodontics. Our practice was one of the first in the state to become proficient in the use of the surgical operating microscope and we use this technology on every patient that we treat. Magnification and fiber-optic illumination are invaluable tools that assist our doctors in performing the technical aspects of root canal therapy, endodontic retreatment and apicoectomy. Below are just a few applications in which the doctors at Lee and Murrin Endodontics utilize the Global Surgical Microscope.

• Improved lighting and magnification (up to 12x) aid in locating additional canals.
• Improves ability to thoroughly clean prepared canals.
• Aids in retrieval of broken instruments.
• Accurate depth of retro-prep extension can be more easily assessed.
• Improves detection and evaluation of root fractures and abnormalities.
• Allows our doctors to minimize the size of the surgical site, reducing patient discomfort and healing time.
• Improves accuracy of microsurgical incisions and suturing, permitting precise tissue approximation for primary wound healing.
