Simplified Surgery protocols
A trusted travel companion
In cases of ankylosed or partially fused teeth, the visual distinction between residual tooth structure and surrounding bone can be challenging.
Traditional white light often fails to reveal clear borders — especially when bone and dentin are tightly integrated or partially resorbed.
📌 Clinical insight
In challenging ankylosis cases, Tiresia allows to ‘see’ where the tooth ends and bone begins—something no radiograph or tactile feedback alone can offer during surgery.
Tiresia, through fluorescence-aided visualization, helps clinicians:
​
-
Differentiate residual root fragments or dentin from surrounding bone in real-time
​
-
Identify tooth material during osteotomy or surgical exposure
​
-
Minimize unnecessary bone removal, preserving alveolar structure
​
-
Guide conservative extraction especially in esthetic or implant-critical areas
​
-
Even in the absence of prior composite restorations, natural dentin and enamel fluoresce differently than bone, offering a subtle but clinically valuable contrast under UV illumination.
