3. Knowledge Is Power. Paraphrase.

Almost like the root system of a plant, the root canals of a tooth have a main branch and many
smaller side branches, and the whole system needs to be sealed during root canal treatment to be
successful long term. Since root canals are very small spaces, they require a great deal of
precision and care to treat well. Therefore, most endodontists today use state-of-the-art
technology including digital (radiographic) imaging to diagnose root canal problems, and after
treatment to verify that the canals are properly sealed; ultrasonic instrumentation to remove old
canal fillings and posts and clean canals; and operating microscopes to accurately locate,
visualize and seal root canal systems; it really is quite high-tech.
