The internal structure of a tooth is complex, and some details are too small to see with the naked eye. The operating microscope allows for:

• Better detection of hidden or extra canals that could otherwise go untreated.
• Identification of cracks and fractures, helping to determine the best treatment approach.
• Improved visibility of narrow or calcified canals, making treatment more precise.

Greater magnification helps ensure more precise procedures while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible. This leads to:

• Smaller access openings, maintaining the tooth’s strength.
• Thorough cleaning and shaping of root canals, improving disinfection.
• More accurate filling and sealing, reducing the risk of reinfection.

Certain cases require exceptional precision, which the microscope provides. It is especially useful for:

• Retreatment of failed root canals, helping locate and remove old materials or obstructions.
• Calcified canals, where careful navigation is essential.
• Endodontic surgery (apicoectomy), improving accuracy when treating the root tip.

By improving accuracy, the microscope also helps:

• Reduce treatment time by allowing for quicker and more effective procedures.
• Minimize discomfort, as less unnecessary drilling or tissue removal is required.
• Lower the risk of complications, leading to more predictable outcomes.

The microscope is often equipped with a camera for high-quality imaging and video recording, which helps with:

• Detailed documentation for better tracking of treatment progress.
• Clear communication with referring dentists or specialists.
• Patient education, allowing patients to better understand their condition and treatment options.
