Surgical microscope
How far does the surgical microscope advance microscopic dentistry?
The surgical microscope gives the dentist a detailed view of the situation, allowing for precision performance of procedures and the achievement of high-quality, long-lasting results.
Dentistry places immense demands on the human eye. We must pay close attention to details that are often nearly impossible to recognize with the naked eye. Without optical magnification, we are left to rely on our experience alone. An example is the
treatment of root canals, which may be no bigger in diameter than 0,05 mm, a very difficult size for the human eye to differentiate. The success of such procedures often depends on precise recognition of the structures being worked on, and incorrect identification of those structures combined with a failure to respect anatomically given dimensions can greatly reduce long-term success. The same is true for surgical procedures in the oral cavity. By using microsurgical methods, we can achieve a higher success rate, significantly reduce or even eliminate postoperative complications (swelling, pain), and accelerate the healing process. Thanks to magnification technologies, we successfully complete a greater number of procedures and ensure our patients get the most from their teeth for years to come.
