Medigy: Endosseous Endodontic

Endosseous endodontic, also known as endodontic microsurgery, is a specialized form of endodontic treatment (root canal therapy) that is used to save teeth that have failed traditional root canal therapy or have unusual anatomy.

Endosseous endodontic procedures involve the use of specialized instruments and techniques to access and treat the root canals of a tooth. This may include using a microscope to visualize the inside of the tooth, as well as ultrasonic and laser technology to clean and shape the canals. Once the canals have been cleaned and shaped, they are filled with a material called gutta-percha and sealed with a filling or crown.

Endosseous endodontic procedures are typically used in cases where traditional root canal therapy has failed, or when a tooth has additional canals or unusual anatomy that cannot be treated with standard techniques. This procedure requires specialized training, equipment and can be done under a surgical microscope.

The goal of endosseous endodontic is to save the tooth and prevent the spread of infection, and also to provide relief from pain and discomfort caused by the infected or inflamed pulp. The success rate of this procedure is high, but as with any medical or dental procedure, there are risks and potential complications that should be discussed with a healthcare professional.
