Magnification in Endodontics

Magnification can significantly improve dental diagnoses and treatment. Using magnification allows for better visualization of treatment areas, more accurate diagnoses, and improved working posture to reduce injuries. There are two main types of magnification equipment - binocular loupes and dental microscopes. Magnification is especially useful for endodontic work, as it helps identify missed canals, repair perforations, remove broken instruments, and diagnose cracks. While magnification improves visibility, proper illumination is also important. Capturing digital images of procedures with magnification can help patients understand planned treatments. In conclusion, magnification should always be used for endodontic work to improve diagnoses and patient understanding.

IVE DONE FINE WITHOUT MAGNIFICATION
ALL THESE YEARS. WHY START NOW?

The most frequent question asked by most of us, The answer is What
you dont see can hurt you and dont start what u can not finish.
Advantages of magnification.
Magnification can significantly improve your diagnostic capability
making your treatment much more easier.
Better visualization of the treatment area. That will translate into more
accurate diagnoses.
The use of magnification has been shown to reduce the occurrences of
repetitive stress injuries related to bad posture by improving working
posture. While youll have to make certain changes in the way you
perform procedures after you begin using magnification, those changes
will often result in better working posture and a reduction of the physical
stress that is one of the constant conditions we deal with in our
profession.
Magnification also reduces eyestrain, and although this should go
without saying, provides significantly clearer and more detailed visibility.
Types of magnification.
There are 2 types of magnification equipment:
A. Binocular loupes.(2.5X,3.5X,5X,6X)
B. Dental microscopes.(WALL MOUNTED,BENCH OR TABLE
MOUNTED AND MOBILE).(5X.13X ARE THE BEXT FOR
ENDODONTIC WORK)
The most known companies are Seiler, Zeiss, Global, Orascoptic,
Designs for Vision and keeler.






If youre a general dentist, youll want to consider loupes as your entry
magnification technology. There are dental loupes on the market with
a wide variety of magnification capabilities; I recommend that you look
at a pair of loupes capable of magnifications ranging from 2.5x to 3.5x .
TYPES Of DENTAL MICROSCOPES.
Magnification how it affects endodontic work!
Identifications of missed canals.
Repair of perforations.
Removal of broken instruments.
Trouhing for calcified canals.
Diagnosis of cracks.

N.BMagnification can solve all these problems but you need
to have good illumination, illumination is as important as
magnification whatever the type of light being used whether
halogen or LED but there should be a source of illumination.
Without the use of magnification, a fourth canal in a molar often is
missed.

This demonstrates how magnification and
proper illumination facilitate the location
of a fourth canal.
Even with good magnification, cracks may not show up if the lighting is
poor. This can occur when using loupes and nothing but the overhead
dental light .
With magnification and
improved lighting, the crack in
the tooth becomes obvious
Magnification showing broken instrument
Troughing searching for calcified canal.
Perforation can be easily repaired.
Locating of extra canals.

Easier obturation.

Conclusion
A source of magnification should always be used, using a
microscope along with digital imaging (including a digital
camera, DVD recorder, or other digital capture device) can
enable you to capture an image of what you are seeing through
the microscope.
Capturing and displaying these images for patients on a video or
computer monitor will give them a clearer picture of what is
going to be involved in treatment, making it easier for them to
decide whether it is worth it, for instance, to try to save a tooth.
The more information we can share with patients, the less likely
we are to end up with a patient who is dissatisfied with
treatment. Telling them in advance exactly what to expect based
on the improved information available through using a
microscope is an excellent step toward achieving that goal.
