ADVANTAGES OF THE MICROSCOPE IN ENDODONTIC PRACTICE
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
The dental microscope has long been employed as a tool to enhance vision, providing greater accuracy for diagnostic procedures and clinical techniques. Its integration of stereoscopic vision and coaxial illumination has proven valuable in identifying pathologies, removing calcifications, and locating instruments that may become lodged within teeth. This device facilitates the observation and detection of tiny root-level structures while also promoting ergonomics, allowing clinicians to maintain better posture of the hands, back, head, and neck in relation to both the patient and the microscope.
