This systematic review found no significant difference in endodontic treatment outcomes with or without magnification devices like loupes or microscopes. Further research is needed for orthograde endodontic treatment outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Endodontics
  • Dental Surgery

Background:

  • Magnification devices, including loupes and surgical microscopes, are utilized in endodontic procedures.
  • The impact of these devices on clinical and radiographic outcomes requires systematic evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review the association between magnification device use in endodontics and improved clinical and radiographic outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic search of major databases (MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane) was conducted up to September 2009.
  • Included were prospective clinical trials comparing endodontic therapy with or without magnification devices.
  • Treatment success was assessed clinically and radiographically after a 1-year follow-up.

Guided Endodontics: Three-Dimensional Planning and Template-Aided Preparation of Endodontic Access Cavities

Published on: May 24, 2022

  • Three prospective studies, all focused on endodontic surgery, were included.
  • No significant differences in outcomes were observed between loupes, surgical microscopes, or endoscopes.
  • No comparative studies on magnification for orthograde endodontic treatment were identified.

    • Conclusions:

    • The type of magnification device appears to have minimal impact on endodontic treatment outcomes.
    • High-quality randomized trials are recommended to ascertain the true effect of magnification devices in both orthograde and surgical endodontics.
