Using magnification significantly changes dental restorative decisions. Clinicians planning treatment should review their decision-making behavior when using magnification for better accuracy.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Dental Materials
  • Restorative Dentistry

Background:

  • Occlusal fissure systems and amalgam restorations are common in restorative dentistry.
  • Magnification is increasingly used in clinical dental practice.
  • Assessing restorative needs requires careful decision-making by clinicians.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of magnification on the assessment of occlusal fissure systems and amalgam restorations.
  • To determine if magnification influences restorative decision-making behavior.
  • To analyze differences in treatment planning with and without magnification.

Main Methods:

  • Four examiners assessed 100 extracted teeth with occlusal fissure systems and amalgam restorations.
  • Assessments were performed initially with the naked eye, then repeated with 3x binocular magnification.

  • Treatment decisions regarding restoration replacement and surface restoration were recorded.

    • Main Results:

    • Magnification use led to an increased number of planned restorations and restored tooth surfaces.
    • One examiner showed a significant modification in treatment planning behavior due to magnification.
    • Restorative decision-making behavior was demonstrably altered by the use of magnification.

    Conclusions:

    • Clinicians' restorative decision-making is modified by the use of magnification.
    • The sensitivity to magnification varies among clinicians.
    • Reviewing decision-making behavior is recommended during adaptation to magnification use in dentistry.
