When choosing an endodontist, it pays to look for a practice that takes advantage of the latest technology. Here at Endodontic Group of Paramus, we use all-digital X-rays, a CT/cone beam scanner, laser-activated irrigation, and a dental operating microscope to enhance our care. Thanks to modern technology, it’s easier than ever for us to catch even the smallest issues and create customized plans to address them effectively. Read on to learn more about our technological offerings before scheduling a visit with our Paramus endodontic team.

CT/Cone Beam Scanner

Our CT/cone beam scanner is an invaluable instrument for planning root canal treatments. It will rotate around your head and capture numerous images of your mouth and various facial structures. Then it will combine those images into a three-dimensional model that will let us get a good look at your teeth, your gums, your nerve pathways, and other structures that need to be taken into account while we’re planning your procedure, thus significantly improving your chances of success.

Dental Operating Microscope

It can be difficult to get a good look at certain parts of the tooth, even with the help of a state-of-the-art imaging system. That is why we rely on a dental operating microscope, which essentially enhances our vision so that we can identify problem areas that could have been overlooked otherwise. This technology is essential for getting rid of the bacteria that may be hiding inside your tooth.

Laser-Activated Irrigation

Part of the root canal process involves removing the bacteria inside your tooth that are contributing to the infection. Some of the bacteria might burrow into the deepest parts of the tooth, making it very difficult to get rid of them. That is where our EdgePRO™ laser-activated irrigation system comes in. It is designed to eliminate up to 99% of any bacteria that may be left behind once the pulp has been taken out, thus making it less likely that you will require an endodontic retreatment.

Digital Radiography

Dentists and other oral health specialists have been relying on X-rays for a long time, but nowadays many practices have switched to digital X-rays as opposed to traditional radiographs. Digital X-rays don’t take nearly as long to develop, and they allow us to produce high-resolution images that make it easier for us to identify oral structures that we need to account for during your treatment. Additionally, digital X-rays significantly cut down the amount of radiation that patients are exposed to.
