Diagnostik & Präzision
Mikroskop und DVT (3D-Röntgen) bei Indikation
Wir arbeiten unter dem Operationsmikroskop, um eine optimale Sicht und Präzision bis in die feinsten Kanalstrukturen zu gewährleisten. Konventionelles Röntgen ist Standard. Eine 3D-Darstellung (DVT) nutzen wir nur, wenn sie die Planung deutlich verbessert, beispielsweise bei unklaren Befunden oder vor einer Wurzelspitzenresektion.

After endodontic therapy, we promptly protect the tooth with an adhesive core and, most commonly, an onlay or crown. This significantly reduces the risk of fracture and increases the tooth's long-term survival.

Root canal therapy can often save a tooth when the nerve is inflamed or necrotic. The canals are cleaned, disinfected, and sealed, and your natural root remains as the foundation.

The goal is to reduce bacteria and achieve a tight seal for long-lasting relief.

Under the microscope, we remove infected tissue and gently shape canals with rotary files. This thorough disinfection is the basis for healing.

Sealed and Stable
Filling and Core Build-up
The X-ray shows the first molar on the upper left (tooth 26) after successful root canal treatment. The white lines in the roots indicate the dense fillings. In the graphic representation, the roots are outlined, the root fillings are marked in red, and the access to the root canal system is highlighted in blue, making the result easy to understand.
Sealed and Stable
A dense root filling seals the system, and an adhesive core prevents reinfection and stabilizes the remaining tooth.

Diagnosis and Imaging
3D imaging only when helpful.
Clinical tests and radiographs lead to the diagnosis. We use CBCT for complex anatomy, unclear lesions, or before microsurgery, but only with a strict indication.

Usually one. The goal is thorough mechanical cleaning and chemical disinfection. Medications do not replace these steps. Complex retreatments and highly acute infections with pus may require multiple visits.

Often, yes, especially for posterior teeth with significant tooth structure loss. Onlay or crown coverage protects the cusps and improves the long-term prognosis.

Onlay or Crown
Fracture Protection
Onlay or Crown
Endodontically treated teeth fracture more often due to large defects and endodontic access. Cuspal coverage compresses rather than wedges under load, reducing fracture risk and extending service life.

Primary treatment, retreatment, or microsurgery—we will choose the option that makes the most medical sense for your case.

We practise evidence-based endodontics. Large-scale studies report good to very good outcomes, depending on case complexity. Critical factors include thorough disinfection, a dense seal and timely cuspal coverage. Benchmarks include the Toronto Study (4–10-year follow-up), systematic reviews (IEJ) and modern microsurgery, which has a very high success rate.

Find the cause — treat anew.
Retreatment
A patient presented with pain in a tooth that had already undergone root canal treatment. The X-ray showed an inadequate filling. With the help of a CBCT image, we discovered an additional root that had previously been overlooked. This discovery enabled us to perform a successful revision, as documented by the images shown.
Find the cause — treat anew.
If symptoms persist or the lesion remains, we will remove the previous materials, disinfect the area and refill it, which often results in excellent healing.

When conservative options are exhausted.
Apical microsurgery
In a patient with a pronounced infection and a cyst in the anterior region, X-rays and CBCT showed the extent of the findings. We performed root canal treatment on the lateral incisor and root tip resection on the previously treated central incisor. The root tip and cyst were removed and the canal was filled from the tip (marked in red). The stable result is still visible eight years after treatment.
When conservative options are exhausted.
For special anatomy or persistent lesions, apical microsurgery is a proven option — planned precisely and performed gently.

Short, clear answers to the most common questions.
With modern local anaesthesia, treatment is usually painless. Any acute pain usually subsides quickly afterwards.
Usually one. However, complex treatments or highly acute infections may require two visits to achieve a predictable outcome.
For unclear findings, complex anatomy, resorptions or planned apical microsurgery, always with a strict indication.
Often, yes, especially for posterior teeth with substantial defects. Onlay/crown coverage protects the cusps and improves the long-term prognosis.
No, you will be treated by the same clinician throughout for consistent and reliable care.
