What Is Endodontic Microsurgery?
Endodontic microsurgery is a specialized dental procedure that focuses on addressing complex root canal issues using advanced tools and techniques. At Brookwood Endodontics Tuscaloosa, Dr. Adam Powell utilizes high-powered surgical microscopes, ultrasonic instruments, and micro-surgical tools to perform precise and minimally invasive procedures. These advanced tools allow for enhanced visibility and accuracy, enabling him to target problem areas within the root and surrounding tissues effectively.

How Is Endodontic Microsurgery Performed?
Endodontic microsurgery begins with a small incision in the gum tissue near the affected tooth to expose the underlying root and surrounding bone. Using a high-powered surgical microscope, Dr. Powell can thoroughly examine the area to locate the source of the problem. Ultrasonic instruments are used to carefully remove any infected tissue or debris, and the root tip is reshaped and sealed with biocompatible materials to prevent future infections. The gum tissue is then repositioned and sutured to complete the procedure, allowing the tooth to heal and regain its function.
What Is the Benefit of Endodontic Microsurgery?
Endodontic microsurgery offers several key benefits, providing a more precise and minimally invasive approach to root canal treatment. Benefits include:
- Enhanced visibility and accuracy with high-powered microscopes
- Minimally invasive with smaller incisions and reduced discomfort
- Better preservation of surrounding tissues and bone structure
- Higher success rate for treating complex or failed root canals
- Faster recovery time compared to traditional surgery
- Reduced risk of complications
- Improved long-term tooth survival
- More effective in treating difficult-to-reach areas of the tooth
- Can be performed with local anesthesia, avoiding general anesthesia
- Helps save natural teeth that might otherwise require extraction

I had been dealing with excruciating pain in my mouth for a long time and I was referred here by my primary dentist. I was nervous at first, but everyone here was so incredible. They got me in for a last minute appointment and stayed late to help me out. Numbing injections normally don’t work on me, so dental procedures have always been a nightmare. But Dr. Stephen Thomas is a miracle worker and made it where I barely felt anything. 10/10.They just need an office cat and it would be my new favorite place!
I received wonderful treatment from every employee that I encountered, on the phone, and in the office. I have used them in the past, and if needed, I will choose them again in the future.
