State-of-the-Art Endodontic Office
Microscopes and High-Resolution Imaging

Microscopes and High-Resolution Imaging

At Jakob Endodontics, each treatment room is equipped with the latest high-resolution microscopes, designed to enhance precision, comfort, and care. With advanced magnification, bright LED lighting, and improved ergonomics, we ensure optimal positioning for both the patient and doctor. This technology allows us to locate every root in every tooth, every time, ensuring thorough cleaning and treatment. High-definition imaging also enables precise documentation and seamless communication with your general dentist. Dr. Jakob offers microscope training to general dentists, enhancing collaborative care.

CONE BEAM CT SCAN (3D IMAGING)

Advanced 3D Imaging for Precise Diagnosis and Treatment

Our office is equipped with the latest Kodak Carestream 3D-Scan, a digital system designed specifically for advanced dentistry. This state-of-the-art, low radiation CBCT scan offers both limited and full-field of view options, providing exceptional clarity and versatility in imaging. The technology removes metal artifact interference, ensuring more accurate results, even in complex cases.

With this advanced imaging, we can identify fractures, missed canals, bone loss, and plan for pre-surgical or retreatment procedures with unmatched precision. The detailed diagnostic information significantly enhances our treatment planning and outcomes.

Dr. Jakob has researched and written extensively on “The Use of 3D Computed Tomography in the Treatment Planning of Failing Root Canals.” Unlike the past, when exploratory surgery was often needed to determine if a tooth could be saved, this new technology allows us to simply perform a scan and interpret the results to achieve optimal tooth-saving outcomes.

Digital X-Rays

Digital X-Rays for Precise Diagnosis and Safety

At Jakob Endodontics, we prioritize your health and comfort by taking only the necessary x-rays. If you have previous x-rays from your referring doctor, please send them to our office before your appointment. When new x-rays are needed, we use the most advanced digital sensors available. This technology reduces radiation exposure by 80% compared to traditional film radiographs and instantly produces high-quality images, ensuring a quick visit and accurate records.

These digital images can be easily shared with referring doctors, insurance companies, or other specialists, streamlining your care. In conjunction with a clinical examination, digital imaging helps us to:

  • Detect cavities and tooth decay
  • Assess remaining crown enamel and dentin
  • Identify the number of roots, canal types, and root shapes
  • Diagnose jaw lesions, which may indicate bone loss

Ultrasonic Instruments for Precision and Efficiency

Working in small spaces, often smaller than the size of a sesame seed, presents unique challenges in endodontic treatment. While the microscope provides exceptional clarity to visualize the inside of the tooth, ultrasonic instruments take precision to the next level. These ultrasonic tips vibrate at 30,000 cycles per second, allowing us to navigate even the smallest spaces with ease and perform procedures with the utmost care.

This advanced technology enhances procedural accuracy, particularly during the delicate stages of both surgical and non-surgical endodontic treatments. Ultrasonic instruments are especially effective for removing posts or broken instruments and locating difficult-to-find, calcified canals.

LATEST GENERATION SOFTWARE

At Jakob Endodontics, we use advanced software specifically designed for endodontic practice management. This system allows us to quickly process patient information, ensuring that records are organized, clear, and easily accessible. It also streamlines communication with referring doctors by enabling efficient report sharing. Our secure, fully digital system ensures that your health records are kept safe and up to date, helping us provide the best care possible in our Boca Raton office.

Latest Generation Software
Nickel-Titanium Files & Rotary Instruments

Nickel-Titanium Files & Rotary Instruments

At Jakob Endodontics, we use the best Nickel-Titanium (NiTi) files and rotary instruments available on the market for root canal treatments. These advanced tools are known for their exceptional flexibility, allowing us to gently navigate and shape even the most curved and complex canals with precision. The flexibility of NiTi instruments reduces the risk of canal damage while ensuring optimal cleaning and shaping, ultimately improving the effectiveness of the treatment and your overall outcome.

Apex Locator for Accurate Working Lengths

At Jakob Endodontics, we utilize the latest apex locator technology to determine precise working lengths during root canal treatments and retreatments. This advanced tool helps us accurately measure the length of each canal, ensuring that we fill the canals to the correct depth. By achieving optimal working lengths, we enhance the effectiveness of the procedure, promoting long-term success and reducing the risk of complications.
