Microscopic Dentistry

Microscopic Dentistry is an advanced approach in dental care that involves the use of a dental operating microscope (DOM) to provide enhanced magnification and illumination, enabling dentists to perform precise, detailed, and minimally invasive procedures. It is most commonly used in endodontics, but is increasingly applied in restorative, prosthodontic, periodontal, and even implant procedures.

Applications of Microscopic Dentistry

Endodontics (Root Canal Therapy)
Microsurgical endodontics (e.g., apicoectomy)
Restorative Dentistry
Prosthodontics
Periodontics
Implantology

Benefits of Microscopic Dentistry:

Enhanced visibility: Early detection and accurate diagnosis
Precision: Higher success rate, especially in RCT
Tissue preservation: Minimally invasive procedures
Better outcomes: Fewer complications and long-term success
Documentation: Visual aids for patient education and records
Dentist ergonomics: Reduces physical strain and fatigue
