Czas niechirurgicznego leczenia endodontycznego z użyciem lub bez użycia lupy
Mamoun reported that aided higher-magnification loupes (4 x) may work better than unaided entry-level (2.5 x) magnifying devices [5]. Therefore, we may consider that working efficiency is related to the power magnification. Surgical microscopes have higher magnification than magnifying loupes. A study showed that more accessory canals were detected by using a microscope than with a magnifying loupe [18]. Another study also reported that significantly more canal orifices were found using a surgical microscope than by using a magnifying loupe [19]. However, a literature review found there was no significant difference in the treatment results of endodontic microsurgery with respect to the type of magnification device [20, 21].
When general dentists encounter difficulty in performing root canal treatment, they refer the case to a specialist. Thus, endondontic specialists are more likely than general dentists to accept challenging cases, and their need to use surgical microscopes is higher. The American Association of Endodontists reported that most of the specialist in the United States incorporate a surgical microscope into their daily practice [22]. On the contrary, it is still not widely accepted by general dentists, for example, in the United Kingdom [23].
Implementing higher magnification will perforce increase the cost of running a clinic and also require a great deal of training on its utilisation within daily practice. Therefore, general dentists still do not widely use higher magnification, so continuing dental education is essential. A study in [...]
