Abstract

Background: The use of magnification devices in dentistry, not only enhances the quality of each procedure but in addition reduces the time for each procedure and improves the ergonomics of the practitioner. Various devices such as dental loupes and endoscopes are employed, which differ in their magnification based on the type of procedure conducted. Aim: The present study aims at determining the awareness of the different types, advantages, disadvantages and effects of magnification in dentistry. Materials and method: A self assessable survey consisting of 16 questions were prepared and circulated among 100 dental students and the results were analysed to determine the use and effects of magnification and magnification devices. Results and discussion: On analysing the results, it was found that different dental procedures require the use of different magnification devices and the advantages posed by these devices include reduced procedure time, improved posture and ergonomics of the dentist and enhanced quality and success of treatment regimes. The awareness among dental students was moderate and better knowledge on these aspects can improve the success of treatment procedures employed. Conclusion: The present study concludes that the awareness of the different magnification devices among dental students was moderate.
