Atlanta Endodontics

"They were very accommodating and professional. Dr Slosberg is very nice and so is the staff." says Wesley on Google

"They are awesome! Great staff Very organized and super good with the care of the root canal" says Joyce on Google

"Absolutely amazing experience. It was like a sci-fi rock n roll office and the service and treatment was stellar. Definitely highly recommend going here, not scary at all, very comfortable and everyone was very sweet. :) Thank you guys! Xo Rachel" says Rachel on Google

Endodontic re-treatment of a lower anterior lateral incisor finished this morning. This case demonstrates 2d imaging vs 3d imaging. All front teeth have one canal, right?

"Very pleasant and informative experience. I was greet to go back my Maurie, who was very thoughtful about why I was there and helped me feel comfortable. Dr. Burgdorf did a very thorough analysis on my teeth. He was very knowledgeable and gave me guidance on what would be the best process to fix my overall mouth and not just the isolated problem. I can tell they love what they do at this office and not after a quick cash.." says Laura on Google

This patient came to see me for a second opinion following initation of Endodontic (root canal) therapy.

I created this video about 10 years ago when I first started speaking about cone beam computed tomography in Endodontics following a conversation with another Endodontist. When would you not want to have all the information?

Interesting case from this morning: This patient presented with pain to biting and chewing for approximately eight weeks, gradually increasing in pain. The patient has a history of bruxing and is currently wearing a night guard. Slight thickening of the PDL can be gleaned on the periapical radiograph, but the scan gives it away. Sometimes being an Endodontist is knowing when not to do the root canal.

Non-surgical endodontic (root canal) therapy on a very rare single rooted maxillary central incisor and a pearl top Zemaitis. Turn the sound up to 11.

While not expressly considered the standard of care in Endodontic or root canal therapy This case illustrates just how helpful pre AND postoperative CBCT scans are. Four canals were located, consistent with my expectations, and the mesial and distal canals appeared to be roughly parallel. I felt comfortable with the post operative radiograph, but the post operative CBCT scan was less thasn flattering. (I've often called cone beam computed tomography, "the great humbler.") I realized I had missed the ml canal. The tooth was re accessed and the and previously untreated mesiolingual canal was subsequently located, cleaned and sealed.

This video demonstrates using a CBCT scan to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of a single rooted upper central incisor with two separate canals.

The pre-operative and working CBCT’s allowed me to efficiently and effectively navigate the anomalous anatomy in this rotated Upper central incisor with a deep bifurcation approximately 12 mm from the lingual access. Interestingly, the contra-lateral tooth has more familiar anatomy. Thank goodness for CBCT scans! #endodontics #tooth #dentistry #rootcanal #rootcanaltherapy #dentista
