Summary
Microscopy enhances endodontic treatments, improving accuracy and success rates. This bibliometric analysis maps the scientific literature on microscopy in endodontics, revealing its continued relevance and potential for future research.
Area of Science:
- Endodontics
- Microscopy
- Bibliometrics
Background:
- Microscopy is crucial for studying pulp and periapical pathologies in endodontics.
- It enhances treatment accuracy, reduces invasiveness, and increases success rates.
Purpose of the Study:
- To map the scientific production on "microscopy" and "endodontics" using bibliometric analysis.
- To identify trends and key metrics in the research landscape.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric survey conducted on the ISI Web of Knowledge/Web of Science database.
- Data collected for publications between 1945 and 2016, with the first publication in 1981.
Main Results:
- Identified 287 articles published in 63 journals by 1145 authors from 336 institutions across 46 countries.
- Analysis revealed 5,668 references, averaging approximately 20 per article.
- National literature shows a broad volume of studies compared to international literature.
Conclusions:
- Microscopy demonstrates significant potential in clinical endodontics.
- The field requires continued investigation to expand knowledge on this relevant topic.

13.6K
Confocal microscopy is an advanced microscopic technique. The prime advantage of the confocal microscope over other microscopy techniques is its ability to block the out-of-focus light from the illuminated samples using pinholes. It is widely used with fluorescence optics to obtain high-resolution, sharp contrast images. Unlike optical microscopes, confocal microscopes use a focused beam of light laser to scan the entire sample surface at different z-planes. These microscopes are, therefore,...

Two-dimensional (2D) microscopy encompasses a range of optical techniques that capture images within a single focal plane, offering detailed representations of microscopic structures. These techniques are essential in biological and medical research, enabling the visualization of cellular and subcellular structures with different levels of contrast and specificity.There are several major types of 2D microscopy, each with strengths and applications.Bright-Field MicroscopyBright-field microscopy...

Three-dimensional imaging techniques are essential in cell biology, allowing researchers to visualize intricate cellular structures with high resolution. Two prominent methods, Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy (DIC) and Confocal Scanning Laser Microscopy (CSLM), provide distinct advantages for imaging live and thick specimens, respectively.Differential Interference Contrast MicroscopyDIC microscopy enhances contrast in transparent, unstained samples by converting phase...

The early pioneers of microscopy opened a window into the invisible world of microorganisms. In 1830, Joseph Jackson Lister created an essentially modern light microscope. The 20th century saw the development of microscopes that leveraged nonvisible light, such as fluorescence microscopy that uses an ultraviolet light source and electron microscopy that uses short-wavelength electron beams. These advances significantly improved magnification, image resolution, and contrast. By comparison, the...

A fluorescence microscope uses fluorescent chromophores called fluorochromes, which can absorb energy from a light source and then emit this energy as visible light. Fluorochromes include naturally fluorescent substances (such as chlorophylls) and fluorescent stains that are added to the specimen to create contrast. Dyes such as Texas red and FITC are examples of fluorochromes. Other examples include the nucleic acid dyes 4’,6’-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI), and acridine orange.

Optical microscopy uses optic principles to provide detailed images of samples. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek designed the first compound optical microscope in the 17th century to visualize blood cells, bacteria, and yeast cells. In 1830, Joseph Jackson Lister created an essentially modern light microscope. The 20th century saw the development of microscopes with enhanced magnification and resolution.
