Cleaning serves to remove everything organic from the root-canal system \u2013 in particular bacterial biofilms and bacterial by-products and toxins. Organic tissue, bacteria, and other toxic substances are dissolved and removed in the entire root-canal system with special irrigating solutions. The root-canals are shaped using microscopically fine flexible files (some of them as small as 0,06 millimeters in diameter!). Leftover tissue is removed and the root-canal system is shaped according to its anatomical geometry.<\/p>\n<p>Only then the root-canal system can be predictably obturated. We vertically compact warm gutta-percha, a material related to natural rubber, in combination with a bioacompatible\/bioactive sealer. This technique, developed by Dr. Herbert Schilder, allows the 3-dimensional filling of the microscopically small and otherwise inaccessible branches of the root-canal system.<\/p>\n<p>Then the access cavity is filled with an adhesive composite material or post build-up, allowing your dentist to carry out the rest of the work.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-555 alignleft\" title=\"Microchirurgie\" src=\"https:\/\/pontius.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/microchirurgie1.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Identification of extra canals with the microscope.
