Our Philosophy
Dr. Lee is specialized in Endodontics for 15 years and perform minimum invasive treatment.
Vertical root fracture is common reason for tooth loss after root canal treatment. It is a consequence of excessive root canal shaping and repeated treatment.
Only successful and minimum invasive treatment can minimize the likelihood of root fracture. Dr. Lee provides root canal treatment that won’t shorten the lifespan of the tooth.
A study (conducted by Dr. Lee) showed that the frequency of root fractures in Japan is higher (32%) than reports from other countries (7.2%-13.4%), https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37660764/ and this supports the previous report from Japan by Yoshino et al. (2015) et al. (31.7%), revealing the high frequency of root fractures in Japan.
For successful and less invasive treatment, a strict sterile treatment protocol, knowledge, skills, and experience are required.
