Microscope Treatment

Microscope Treatment

We live in an era where today's developing technology is included in every aspect of our lives and changes our habits. Developing technology brings innovation and convenience to our lives. In an era like the space age, it is understood that there are big differences between what the naked eye sees and what it sees with larger magnifications in dentistry practices. These developments are accelerating day by day, and transformations are happening more frequently. The dentistry sector also benefits from these developments. In such a period, those who can benefit from the opportunities provided by technology are tasting the future and living one step ahead. Microscope dentistry is actually a situation that has existed since the very beginning of dentistry. Working with magnification is a method that has been discovered much earlier, that is, since the beginning of dentistry, to make the area brighter and to work in a brighter environment.

In dentistry, we can see the area 6 times, 15 times or even 40 times larger with a microscope. Meanwhile, the light source also allows the area to be seen more clearly.

• Porcelain laminate and composite laminate applications,
• To see that the step in the cuts we made on the tooth is smooth and even,
• To be able to see whether the tooth we will be treating has an extra canal during root canal treatments,
• In the detection of caries,
• In determining the clarity of the measurement we take,
• Monitors the continuity of the images of cracks and fractures in the tooth,
• In gum treatments,
• Microscope dentistry provides us with a larger field of view in tartar cleaning and even in gum operations.

With the image we see under 10-16 times or even 40 times magnification, we provide a clearer and smoother application to our patient and guide ourselves with advanced methods in protecting our patient's health. In addition, groups formed by doctors who practice medicine with a microscope and sharing experiences here also provide the opportunity to contact a higher structure in dentistry trends. The dominant view in dentistry for many years has been "Extension For Prevention". In other words, in order to protect, to expand, in other words to provide an image, a larger amount of tooth tissue was taken and a large area was provided on the surface of the tooth so that the old filling materials could hold on to the tooth. Especially when amalgam fillings were popular, it was necessary to remove an extra substance on the tooth in order to provide vision on the tooth and to understand that the decay was fully detected. In microscope dentistry, it is possible to clean only the area where the decay is located by providing 40 times magnification and to perform the fillings using the layering system after this cleaning. New research and developments have focused on this subject and in addition to microscope dentistry, magnification devices using Dental Loupes have also become routine magnification systems used by dentists.

When doing this job with glasses, a vision of 2.5 - 3.5 or even 4.2 times can be provided. These provide the dentist with a clearer and more beautiful view during examination and diagnosis, and they allow the dentist to do it directly by putting it on his eye without the need for any device. Microscope dentistry is very well explained by the words of David Clark, founder of the Academy of Microscope-Assisted Dentistry (AMED): “The greatest indicator of the long-term retention of teeth in the mouth is the volume of healthy and natural tooth tissue remaining at the end of treatment.” In other words, the less tissue loss a treated tooth has, the longer it is likely to remain in your mouth. In other words, the less we remove from the tooth, the longer the restoration we make will last. In short, microscopes are devices that are now becoming widespread in dentistry. The reason for their use is that the treatment of small and delicate teeth must be done with high precision. Depending on the detailed field of vision, doctors can perform more delicate treatments, and they can help your teeth stay in your mouth for a long time by removing the minimum amount of tooth tissue.
