OPERATING MICROSCOPES:
In addition to digital radiography, we utilize special operating microscopes. Magnification and fiber optic illumination are helpful in aiding the doctor to see tiny details inside your tooth. Also, a tiny video camera on the operating microscope can record images of your tooth to further document the doctor’s findings.
APEX LOCATORS:
These modern electronic devices are used by your endodontist to measure the lengths of your tooth’s roots. Their use both saves time and minimizes the number of needed x-rays.
ULTRASONICS:
It used to be the case that the presence of a post in a tooth requiring retreatment of root canal therapy was a common indication for surgical retreatment because of the difficulty and length of the post-removal procedure. But with the advent of ultrasonic instrumentation, post-removal procedures can now be performed over the course of minutes. Our speed in accomplishing this procedure at Cascade Endodontics is further enhanced by our ultramodern dual ultrasonic system.
ROTARY NICKEL-TITANIUM INSTRUMENTS:
Performing a root canal with only the use of hand instruments used to be a process so time-consuming that it would take 4 or 5 visits to complete. A lot has changed. Modern rotary file systems using nickel-titanium instrumentation have greatly reduced the need for multiple visits and produces a more consistent result.
CONE BEAM DENTAL IMAGING:
KODAK 9000 3D Extraoral Imaging System combines the power of focused-field 3D technology with cutting-edge panoramic imaging. This unit delivers unprecedented detail, making it ideal for most dental applications.
