With microscopic techniques, this rate can reach as high as 90\u201398%.\n\nAccording to a 2025 comparative study (Chang et al.), treatment performed under microscopic guidance was nearly three times more likely to result in successful healing than the conventional procedure.\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fogpotlasklinika.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/foto2-3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4748\" src=\"https:\/\/fogpotlasklinika.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/foto2-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"515\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/fogpotlasklinika.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/foto3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4749\" src=\"https:\/\/fogpotlasklinika.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/foto3-1024x941-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"557\" height=\"512\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>On the left is the result of a traditional root canal treatment, while on the right is the restoration of the same tooth performed using a microscopic technique<\/em><\/p>\n&nbsp;\n\n<strong>When can a tooth be saved? <\/strong>\n\nIn the case of an inflamed or dead tooth, root canal treatment is often the only option for saving the natural tooth. However, even today\u2019s technology isn\u2019t a miracle cure. For example, a fractured root, extensive loss of tooth structure, or significant tooth mobility can all make it impossible to save the tooth.\n\nTraditionally considered a hopeless case?

Microscopic root canal treatment can offer a solution even in cases that we would previously have deemed unsalvageable.\n\nIn addition, thanks to the greater precision of this technique, less tooth structure needs to be removed, thereby reducing the risk of future tooth fracture.\n\n<strong>What is the solution if root canal treatment doesn't work after all? <\/strong>\n\nAt the Hal\u00e1sz Clinic, we offer a 3-year special warranty on root-canal-treated teeth! We\u2019ll apply half of the cost of the tooth toward the implant that replaces it.\n\nIf the tooth cannot be saved or if you want a guaranteed immediate and long-term solution, the best option is to replace it with an implant.\n\n<figure id=\"attachment_4751\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4751\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fogpotlasklinika.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/foto-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-4751\" src=\"https:\/\/fogpotlasklinika.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/foto-5-1024x820-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"820\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4751\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">One of the top implants is the Nobel Active Ti-Ultra<\/figcaption><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sokan m\u00e9g mindig egy f\u00e1jdalmas \u00e9s bizonytalan kimenetel\u0171 kezel\u00e9sk\u00e9nt gondolnak a gy\u00f6k\u00e9rkezel\u00e9sre.
