Microscopes in dentistry

• Endodontists have frequently boasted they can do
  much of their work blindfolded simply because
  there is nothing to see. The truth of the
  matter is that there is a great deal to see if
  only we had the right tools.
• In dentistry there has been an explosion of new
  technologies, new instruments and new materials
  over the last fifteen years. These advances have
  enabled clinicians to complete procedures which
  were once considered impossible or which could be
  performed only by extremely talented or lucky
  clinicians. The most important revolution has
  been the introduction and then the widespread
  adoption of the operating microscope.

REDEFINITION

• In dentistry, Microscope has redefined the
  concept of visualization, particularly in the
  field of endodontics. The microscope is now
  generally used as an essential element in the
  dentist daily armamentarium and part of the
  basic academic curriculum. Beyond endodontics the
  role of microscope has received increased
  attention in general dentistry to further enhance
  the quality of the dentists work.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

• The dental microscope woks according to the
  telescope principle, whereby the furthest point
  of view is at infinity. Therefore, the eyes do
  not accommodate and coverage, which means that
  fatigue rarely occurs. Furthermore, the
  integrated or attachable camera and video
  equipment of modern microscope systems permits
  the dental professional to involve patients to a
  much greater extent in the treatment process and
  increase overall treatment compliance.

• A magnified microscopic image is worth more than
  a thousand word. It allows you to clearly explain
  the treatment and impressively demonstrate your
  skills thereby simplifying the counselling
  process of the patients.
• In general magnification can be set between 4x
  and 24x, thereby expanding the diagnostic option.
  Most of the fissure caries and microfractures
  cannot be seen with the naked eye. With the aid
  of the microscopes it is even possible to view
  down to the apex of a straight root canal.

ACCELERATION

• Additionally, clinicians will experience an
  increase in their job satisfaction. Many
  procedures are simplified and accelerated
  greatly, a much better visibility is provided
  with the microscope.
• Treatment results become more predictable. For
  example, the outline preparation and assesement
  for a crown preparation becomes much simpler.
  Making a cast impression is also no longer
  problematic.

BENEFITS

• In closed or open periodontal therapy, the seep
  subgingival pockets or interdental recessions and
  furcation already affected by bone destruction
  are hardly accessible to the naked eye. Due to
  the optical benefits mentioned the illumination
  of the surgical fields detects any clinging
  islands of biofilm and remove them precisely.
• Moreover, working with a dental microscope allows
  for the best possible working posture. Neck and
  back injuries can be prevented. Existing injuries
  may in some cases , disappear suddenly.

• In conjunction with further technological
  developments and an increase in experience , is
  bound to lead to specialization that will
  continue to enjoy a high degree of protection
  against emulation in the competitive world of
  dentistry. The dental microscope with all its
  advantages, is now an indispensible in any
  quality in out-come oriented dental practice
  philosophy.
