What new technologies are being used?
Osstell
Implant treatment is one of the most predictable dental therapies, with near-perfect success rates. However, the nature of the treatment is evolving. Today, more patients ask for immediate placement of their implants. Patients who in the past might not have been candidates for implants ask to be treated also.
Demand for early implant placement, and treatment requests from high risk patients create a need for more capable diagnostic tools. Osstell ISQ is such a tool. It's a complete diagnostics system for determining dental implant stability. It is critical that the bone be completely remodeled around the dental implants to maximize stability prior to attaching replacement teeth. Osstell ISQ provides Dr. Yeh with the accurate, consistent and reliable stability measures needed for making informed placement decisions, avoid failure and give patients added quality assurance.
Endoscope:
Endoscope is used in the visualization of surgical or conventional root canal treatments. E.V.S. (Endoscopic Visualization System) allows us to illuminate, magnify and visualize the root canal system to unprecedented levels. Innovative advancements in endoscopic technology have brought endodontic treatments to their highest level of excellence. Dr. Irene Yeh is the first endodontist in the Northern California area to incorporate the newest technology in the practice.
Ultrasonic:
With the constant improving of endodontic practice, the root end cavity preparation during apicoectomy is now accomplished with ultrasonic and tips designed by Dr. Gary Carr. This advanced technique allows endodontists to make a deeper preparation with less root reduction, thus improve the long-term prognosis of the tooth. Ultrasonic is also used in post removal during endodontic retreatment to minimize dentin removal.
Operating Microscopes:
In addition to digital radiography, we utilize special operating microscopes. Magnification and fiber optic illumination are helpful in aiding the doctor to see tiny details inside your tooth. Also, a tiny video camera on the operating microscope can record images of your tooth to further document the doctor's findings.
