                        The 
                          use of digital radiographs have reduced the exposure to xrays by 80-90 percent. 
                          The images are instantly 
                        viewed on a computer screen with remarkable definition. 
  
                          
                         
                          
                        Surgical 
                          Microscope 
                        In 
                          our office, we use a Zeiss Surgical Microscope. It provides enhanced visualization 
                          of the endodontic access or surgical area up to 25 times. This is especially 
                          beneficial for accurate visualization of complex anatomy cases, for locating 
                          root fractures or defects, for root-end surgery, for removal of separated 
                          instruments, and for locating canals. 
                        Nickel 
                          Titanium Rotary Instruments
                        Nickel Titanium has the 
                          unique features of flexibility and shape memory. The instruments are used 
                          to clean and shape the inside of the canal. Previous stainless steel instruments 
                          had the tendency to break and could not take a curve to follow the shape of 
                          the canal, so it was difficult to clean the canal successfully. Nickel Titanium 
                          is 500 times more flexible, so even canals that are sharply curved can be 
                          thoroughly cleaned and shaped. Using these instruments routinely, allow us 
                          not only to be more effective, but also to work faster and more quietly.  
                        Electric 
                          Handpieces
                        New electric handpieces 
                          are virtually silent. This significantly reduces the anxiety of our patients. 
                          These handpieces are designed to be used exclusively with nickel titanium 
                          rotary instruments. 
                        Electronic 
                          Apex Locators
                        It is important for the 
                          success of root canal therapy to clean and fill to the very end of the root, 
                          without extending beyond or being short. The electronic apex locator aids 
                          in measuring the length of the canal by determining accurate position of the 
                          apical constriction through a resistance force.
