Save Teeth, Not Lose Them
An inflamed tooth nerve does not automatically mean the tooth must be extracted. Root canal treatment can help preserve the natural tooth. At Puls Zahnmedizin in Dortmund-Hörde, we use microscope-assisted endodontics. Whether a tooth can be retained depends on the initial findings and its subsequent restoration.
Root canal treatment: an X-ray case
These two images document a clinical case before and after root canal treatment. They complement the explanation of the procedure with an example of clinical documentation.

AfterIndividual results may vary. The treatment results shown are individual cases and do not constitute a guarantee of outcome.
Dental Microscope: Seeing What the Eye Cannot
A dental microscope with up to 25x magnification reveals fine canal structures invisible to the naked eye. This means we find and treat even hidden canals that could be missed in conventional treatment. The result is more thorough disinfection and a higher success rate.
How a Microscope-Assisted Root Canal Treatment Works
After diagnosis (supported by DVT and AI image analysis), the tooth is opened under local anesthesia. Using nickel-titanium files and electronic length measurement, the root canals are cleaned and disinfected. The tooth is then sealed with thermoplastic root filling. The entire treatment is typically painless thanks to modern anesthesia.

Frequently Asked Questions About Endodontics
What is endodontics?
Endodontics is the treatment of the tooth interior — specifically root canal treatment. The goal is to remove an inflamed or dead tooth nerve and preserve the natural tooth instead of extracting it.
Is root canal treatment painful?
No. Thanks to modern anesthesia, root canal treatment is typically painless. It is comparable to a normal filling. The dental microscope also enables a more precise and gentle treatment.
What is the success rate of root canal treatment?
Root canal treatment can preserve many teeth for the long term. The individual prognosis depends on the initial findings, tooth structure and subsequent restoration. A general success rate does not guarantee the outcome for an individual tooth. We discuss the outlook and necessary follow-up based on your examination.
How long does a root canal treated tooth last?
A successfully root canal treated tooth with a crown can last decades — often a lifetime. Regular check-ups and good oral hygiene are crucial for long-term prognosis.
