Every root canal treatment at AQUA Dent Clinics is performed under the Zeiss Extaro 300 surgical microscope at up to 25× magnification. This transforms endodontic therapy from a near-blind procedure into a precise visual operation, revealing hidden canals and root fractures invisible to the naked eye or X-rays.
The human root canal is narrower than one millimeter at its apex. With the naked eye, the dentist cannot see:
Studies published in the Journal of Endodontics have shown root canal success rates exceeding 90% under the microscope, versus 70-80% without one.
Zeiss is the German world leader in medical optics since 1846. The Extaro 300 is the newest generation purpose-built for dentistry:
The opposite. Sharper vision speeds up the procedure and reduces visit count. A complex root canal that might take 3 visits without a microscope completes in 1-2 visits with one.
Yes. The integrated 4K camera displays the dentist's view on a side monitor, and you can request photos or videos for your file. Many patients request these to document their case before and after.
The price of a root canal at AQUA Dent includes microscope treatment with no additional fees. The microscope is a quality standard, not an upgrade.
Every root canal at AQUA is performed under the microscope. The endodontic program is led by Dr. Obadah Austah, certified by UTHSCSA in the United States.
