What’s the Current State of Endodontics?

Since the events of the pandemic, endodontic care has had to adjust to the new normal that came after. Many adjustments had to be made to safety protocols, sanitary guidelines, and other procedures to reduce transmissions of the Covid-19 virus. But thanks to today’s technological advancements, many endodontic procedures have been updated to provide better care and protection beyond the pandemic’s impact. 

How Has Endodontic Technology Changed Since The Pandemic?

Various protocols have since been introduced to not only reduce the spread – while many of the restrictions set by the C.D.C. and W.H.O. have been lifted for a few years now, the impact of those protocols has left many practices still using those technologies that have helped them thrive during harsh economic times. Today, there are still many advances used in endodontic practices today, including: 

• Telehealth Checkups: Patients facing problems with their teeth can easily check in with their endodontist for at-home diagnosis with telehealth screenings and checkups. 
• CBCT Imaging Devices: Imaging devices such as CBCT scanners have helped many endodontists work to diagnose issues, as these devices produce better accuracy and are less invasive. 
• Same-Day Endo Treatments: Patients seeking faster solutions can now experience same-day care from their endodontists, which involves eliminating problems with the tooth for those who experience severe pain. 
• P.P.C. Equipment Procedures: P.P.C. equipment is now a common stay among many endodontists, as the equipment helped reduce the spread of Covid-19 and other diseases such as the flu.
