Benefits of using the microscope in endodontics

Abstract

The dental microscope has been used since ancient times, to magnify our vision giving the opportunity to perform analysis and methods with greater precision, it has been worked in stereoscopic vision and coaxial illumination, helping in the diagnosis of pathologies, elimination of calcifications, as well as the vision with accuracy of instruments that are trapped in the dental pieces. It allows the study and localization of minute structures at the radicular level, this instrument has allowed the professional to generate a better position in terms of hands, back, head, neck with a good position of the operator, microscope and patient. The use of the microscope in endodontics has technical advantages for the operator and advantages for the patients, which is important at the time of performing a treatment and diagnosing a dental condition. In root canal treatment it is necessary to have good instruments. The anatomy of the root canal of the maxillary molars is considerably complicated, so there have been high levels of failure of endodontic treatment of teeth that have the second mesiobuccal canal. The use of microscope and other devices may explain the higher detection rate of additional canals and improve the quality of treatment. The present study was conducted with the aim of describing the benefits of the use of the microscope in the field of endodontics. A total of 41 articles were reviewed.
