Endodontics
Microscope-assisted root canal treatment to save natural teeth

All doctorsAdvanced Endodontic Treatment at Polyclinic.ae
Endodontics is the branch of dentistry focused on root canal treatment — a procedure that allows patients to preserve their natural teeth even when the nerve and inner tissues are infected or inflamed.
Modern endodontic therapy at Polyclinic.ae makes it possible to save teeth that previously would have required extraction.
All root canal treatments and retreatments are performed under a dental microscope, allowing the doctor to visualize even the tiniest structures — extra canals, lateral branches, or micro-cracks.
This precision ensures complete cleaning, accurate sealing, and a significantly reduced risk of complications.
We use the latest rotary instruments, ultrasonic activation, and 3D obturation systems, guaranteeing durable and long-lasting results.
When Root Canal Treatment or Retreatment Is Needed
Root canal treatment is indicated for acute pain, pulpitis, or periodontitis — inflammatory conditions often accompanied by swelling and severe discomfort.
These cases are usually treated urgently by a dentist.
Retreatment is necessary in two main situations:
- As part of a comprehensive rehabilitation before prosthetic work.
- When previous treatment has failed — for example, if canals were not completely sealed or infection reappears.
In these cases, a specialist endodontist performs the retreatment under a microscope, eliminating previous issues and ensuring proper healing.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is root canal treatment painful?
-
No. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and is completely painless.
- Why is a microscope important?
-
It allows the doctor to see hidden or accessory canals and ensures complete cleaning and sealing, preventing future complications.
- How long does treatment take?
-
Usually one to two visits, depending on the complexity.
- When is retreatment required?
-
When problems occur after previous therapy or when preparing a tooth for a crown or bridge.
- How is an endodontist different from a general dentist?
-
An endodontist specializes in complex and repeat cases, using microsurgical precision and advanced technology for optimal outcomes.
- Can a tooth last long after root canal treatment?
-
Yes. With quality treatment and proper care, the tooth can last a lifetime.
- Is a crown always required afterward?
-
Not always. However, if the tooth structure is significantly weakened, a crown is recommended to prevent fracture and restore full strength.
