Microscopic endodontics in Opole
The ZEISS Extaro microscope magnifies tooth canals 4-25 times. PIPS/SWEEPS lasers disinfect areas unreachable by instruments. Re-endodontics for teeth deemed lost in other clinics. Dr. Nowosielski's specialty — Endodontic Curriculum PTE, member of ESE, author of 4 publications in the Dental Magazine.
Endodontics is detective work. 30% of success is locating each canal (including the hidden MB2 in upper molars), 30% is disinfecting lateral canals, 30% is a tight seal. Without a microscope and lasers, all three stages are a compromise.
25× magnification allows seeing a canal with a diameter of 0.1 mm — inaccessible to the naked eye. 4 light modes (white, blue, contrast filters) reveal cracks, additional canals, and previous treatment errors. We locate MB2 (the second mesial-buccal canal of the upper molar) which is missed in 60% of standard treatments.
Bubbles in an aqueous NaOCl + EDTA solution implode under the laser pulse, generating turbulent flow — disinfection penetrates lateral canals and dentinal tubules unreachable by instruments. Saydjari 2016: 99% elimination of Enterococcus faecalis at 1mm depth in the canals (vs. ~30% with manual NaOCl).
70-85% success rate for teeth after an unsuccessful first root canal treatment (clinical literature). Typical case: patient after 5-10 years with pain, abscess, X-ray shows missed MB2 or underfilled canal. Requires removal of old gutta-percha, searching the entire canal system under a microscope, disinfection with PIPS/SWEEPS, and re-filling.
Complete endodontic treatment protocol under a microscope — from diagnosis to crown placement.
Diagnostics + CBCT (250 PLN + 400 PLN). Interview, pulp vitality test, periapical X-ray, sometimes CBCT for multi-canal teeth. Treatment plan with price ranges and prognosis.
Anesthesia The Wand + rubber dam (15 minutes). Computer-controlled local anesthesia (almost imperceptible), rubber dam isolates the tooth from saliva — sterile working field. Patient breathes freely through the nose.
Opening + locating canals under the microscope (30-60 minutes). Access drilling, locating each canal with ZEISS Extaro 25× zoom. For upper molars, we look for MB2 (the second mesial-buccal canal). Measuring working length with apex locator.
Preparation + irrigation + SWEEPS (45-90 minutes). Reciproc R25/R40/R50 (rotating nickel-titanium files) prepare the canal. Irrigation with 5.25% NaOCl + 17% EDTA. SWEEPS Er:YAG laser (20mJ, 15Hz, 25µs) — disinfection of lateral canals and dentinal tubules. Drying with sterile paper points.
Filling + restoration (30 minutes). Warm gutta-percha + AH+ sealer (or MTA for open apices) fill the entire 3D canal system. Composite restoration with SonicFill. Control X-ray. Recommendation for final crown in 2-4 weeks (protects against fracture).

Mikrostomart is located in the center of Opole at Centralna 33a. Convenient access for patients from all over Poland.
Parking directly in front of the clinic (entrance from Centralna Street). No searching for a spot, no payment at the parking meter. Ideal for 1-2 hour visits (typical length of root canal treatment).
From the main station: buses line 12 or 16, about 15 minutes to the stop 'Centralna'. From there, 200 m on foot. Convenient for patients from Wrocław (50 min by train) and Katowice (1h by train).
10 minutes by car from A4. 50 minutes from Wrocław, 90 minutes from Katowice, 2.5 hours from Kraków. Many of our patients are those who heard from another dentist 'tooth to be removed' and come for a second opinion.
Within 3 km: Hotel Mercure Opole, Hotel Festival, Hotel Piast. We will help book accommodation when treatment requires 2 visits in a short time (e.g., re-endodontics with calcium disinfection between visits).
Microscopic endodontics under laser is Marcin's number 1 specialty. PTE Curriculum, member of ESE, author of 4 publications in the Dental Magazine 2020-2021.
Endodontic Curriculum of the Polish Endodontic Society (the longest Polish specialized endodontic program). Member of the European Society of Endodontology — we enforce ESE Quality Guidelines. Master of Science in Lasers in Dentistry — RWTH Aachen University (2021, with distinction). Lectures at LA&HA Symposium (Slovenia 2019, 2023; Poland 2022 keynote). 4 publications in the Dental Magazine on Er:YAG and Nd:YAG protocols in endodontics. Lecturer at the 20th anniversary of PTE.
Selected reviews from Google Maps. Many of our patients are those who came for a second opinion and saved a tooth previously deemed lost.
"Trafiłam do dr Marcina z polecenia i to była najlepsza decyzja. Leczenie kanałowe pod mikroskopem przeprowadzone bezboleśnie. Wnętrza kliniki w ogóle nie przypominają dentysty - pełen relaks. Polecam!"

"Bałam się dentysty od dziecka, ale tutaj strach zniknął. Znieczulenie komputerowe to złoto! Atmosfera, muzyka, podejście do pacjenta - wszystko na 6 z plusem."

Standard: one canal from 800 PLN, 2-canal tooth from 1100 PLN, 3-4-canal tooth (molar, wisdom tooth) from 1500-1800 PLN. Re-endodontics (second treatment after an unsuccessful first) from 1500 PLN — requires removal of old filling and full revision of the canal system. The price includes CBCT if required, The Wand anesthesia, rubber dam, ZEISS microscope, PIPS/SWEEPS lasers, all irrigations, and control X-rays. After the first visit, you receive a written treatment plan with a detailed calculation.
The procedure is painless — we perform it under local anesthesia using The Wand system (computer-controlled, almost imperceptible). Most patients discontinue pain medication after 24 hours (SWEEPS laser + tight filling reduce inflammatory response). Exception: acute inflammatory conditions (abscess, irreversible pulpitis) — the first 2-3 days may have sensitivity to biting, subsiding after starting antibiotics.
Front teeth and premolars with straight canals: usually 1 visit (90 min). Molars with 3-4 canals: 1-2 visits (each 60-90 min). Re-endodontics: 2 visits with a 2-week break for calcium disinfection. After endodontics, we recommend a final crown within 2-4 weeks (protects against fracture) — this is an additional 1-2 visits.
Three reasons: (1) Locating MB2 — the second mesial-buccal canal in upper molars occurs in 60-80% of cases, but without a microscope, it is missed in 60% of treatments. Missed canal = chronic inflammation = extraction in 5-10 years. (2) Identifying cracks — microcracks in enamel/dentin visible only in 25× zoom determine whether a tooth can be saved or not. (3) Precision of preparation — preparing to working length ±0.5 mm instead of 'by feel' = better filling = fewer long-term complications.
The National Health Fund reimburses ONLY root canal treatment for front teeth (1-3) to a limited extent — without a microscope, without modern disinfection protocols. Endodontics for lateral teeth (4-8) and any endodontics under a microscope are commercial services. This applies to every clinic in Poland. German health insurance may cover part of the treatment costs abroad based on EU Directive 2011/24 — we issue invoices in German.
Endodontics in our clinic has control X-rays after 6 and 12 months (included in the price). If a problem requiring re-endodontics of THE SAME tooth arises within 12 months — we do it for free (with the final crown preserved and regular hygiene visits). The long-term effectiveness of our endodontics is 92-95% with 5-year observation (vs. 70-80% industry average) — the effect of combining microscope + lasers + ESE Quality Guidelines.
A second opinion costs 250 PLN and may be the first opportunity to save a tooth previously deemed lost. CBCT + treatment plan + prognosis in one day.
