Upper first molar with 5 canals, MB3

This is why the use of the microscope is so IMPORTANT in Endodontics. This is an upper first molar with 5 canals. I like to clean and shape first the main canals to work after on the accessories. In this case I found a MB2 and MB3 canal. It’s IMPOSSIBLE to do this with the limitations of our naked eye, even with loupes. Mind as well the “conservative” access done in this case.

Love looks through a telescope; envy, through a microscope.

The power of magnification

I can’t imagine to do a root canal treatment without my microscope. The human eye is limited and without microscope, we are not able to see important details for the long term success of the treatment.

This photo shows different grades of magnification. It was taken before the obturation with the canals already cleaned and shaped that’s why the MB2 is so visible.

Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others.

Curvy roots on a first upper molar

On this kind of cases we just need to take extra care and patience to do it. It’s very important to enlarge the canal little by little, irrigating all the time to remove the smear layer and avoid ledges when we perform root canal treatments.

The two most powerful warriors are patience and time.
