Carestream 9600 CBCT
Utilizing state-of-the-art cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) from Carestream enables our doctors to visualize cases in ways that were unimaginable 20 years ago. This advanced technology aids in diagnosis, identifies abnormal root canal anatomy, and facilitates the planning of surgical procedures. Its invaluable contribution has been pivotal in treating even the most challenging cases.
Global operating microscopes
Clarity and magnification are essential for endodontists working within the minuscule spaces of the root canal system. Accessing the canals through an opening typically 1-4mm wide would be nearly impossible without the aid of operating microscopes. These microscopes offer enhanced visualization, allowing us to see intricate details, improving precision, and enabling the detection of cracks and resorption that might otherwise remain hidden.
Sonendo Gentlewave
Sonendo has dedicated over a decade to developing the GentleWave system, which aims to enhance cleaning and disinfection of the root canal system while preserving natural tooth structure. While it remains to be seen whether this technology will lead to improved patient outcomes, the doctors at Seto, Gluskin, and Wu Endodontics have been notably impressed by its performance. Endodontists have traditionally achieved success rates exceeding 95% without such advanced technology, but the GentleWave system holds the potential to provide significant advantages, particularly in managing challenging cases.
