"Enhancing Precision And Proficiency: The Impact Of Magnification In Endodontics"
Main Article Content
Abstract
In recent decades, endodontics has undergone remarkable technological advancements, transitioning from conventional hand files to rotary systems and from direct vision to magnification. The application of magnification devices in endodontics serves the primary purpose of visual enhancement and improved ergonomics, especially crucial during prolonged hours in tight operating spaces, addressing obscure microanatomy. The use of magnification aids significantly contributes to the production of higher-quality procedures, fostering better precision and accuracy.1 Whether utilizing microscopes or loupes, practitioners experience enhanced clarity in treatment planning and execution. Moreover, when equipped with cameras and video monitors, magnification aids facilitate improved patient education and documentation. Despite these benefits, the widespread adoption of magnification in dentistry is yet to be integrated into mainstream practices due to various influences on behavioral patterns. This review aims to elucidate the significance of magnification in the field of endodontics, emphasizing its utility in dental procedures for enhanced accuracy, improved handling, and thoroughness, ultimately minimizing procedural errors.2
