Magnification in endodontics
A review
Keywords:
magnifying glass, loupes, microscope, orascope, endoscopeAbstract
Over the past few decades, technological advances in endodontics have taken quantum leaps from conventional hand files to rotary system and from direct vision to magnification. Magnification helps the user not only to see more, but to see well. The application of magnification devices in endodontics is mainly meant for visual enhancement and improved ergonomics. This is crucial especially when long hours are spent in a narrow operating space to treat obscure microanatomy. Magnification aids assist in producing higher quality procedures due to better precision and accuracy. Using the microscope aids improved ergonomics for the operator. Using loupes or microscopes improves the clarity in treatment plan as well as its execution. The magnification aids with camera and video monitor attached, enhance the patient education and better documentation. A strong consideration should be given to adopt using the concept of magnification. Nevertheless, application of magnification in dentistry has yet to be introduced into the mainstream practice due to various influences in behavioural patterns. This review intended to explain the significances of magnification in the field of endodontics as well as use of these tools in dental procedures for better accuracy, handling and thoroughness, which will lead to fewer procedural errors.
