INTRODUCTION
• Significant advances in the use of magnification and
illumination and supportive armamentarium in recent years have
benefited treatment protocols in non surgical and surgical
endodontics.
• Such that teeth, which might otherwise have been extracted,
now have a predictable chance for retention.
HISTORY
• Otologists - Introduced operating
microscope
• In 1922 Carl Nylen - Monocular microscope
• In 1953 Carl Zeiss - Binocular operating
microscope
• In 1960 - 1st surgical operating
microscope
• In 1978 Apothekar & Jako - DOM
• In 1981 - DOM (Dentiscope)
• In 1993 - Symposium on
microscopic Endodontic
surgery
• In 1995 - DOM by Endodontists
• In 1997 - Microscopy training
DENTISCOPE
Optical Definitions
• Working Distance: The distance measured from the
dentist’s eye to the treatment field being viewed.
• Depth of Field: Refers to the ability of the lens
system to focus on objects that are both near and far
without having to change the loupe position.
• Field of view : The area that is visible through
Optical magnification.
• Viewing angle: The angular position of the
optics allowing for a comfortable viewing
position for the operator.
Loupes
• Dental loupes are the most common magnification
system used in dentistry.
MULTI LENS OPTIC SYSTEM
• Galilean optical system. (ideal magnification 2.5X)
• Keplarian optical system. (ideal magnification 6X)
An example of a Galilean system
Prism loupes.
These loupes have sophisticated
optics, which rely on internal prisms
to bend the light.
• The disadvantage of this arrangement is that the eyes must
converge to view an image.
• This convergence over time will create eyestrain and fatigue.
• Prism loupes produce better magnification, larger fields of
view, wider depths of field, and longer working distances than
other types of loupes.
• Only the Dental Operating Microscope (DOM) provides better
magnification and optical characteristics than prism loupes.
fiberoptic headlamp system
Dental Operating Microscope (DOM)
• Most microscopes can be configured to
magnifications up to × 40 and beyond but
limitations in depth of field and field of view
make it impractical.
Classification
Based on use :
• Surgical microscope
• Examination microscope
Based on magnification:
• Lower magnification (2.5x to 8x)
• Midrange magnification (8x to 14x)
• Higher range magnifications (14x to 30x)

THE ANATOMY OF THE
OPERATING MICROSCOPE
• 3 primary components:
• Supporting structure
• Body of the microscope
• Light source
Supporting structure
Distance between the fixation point and the body
of the microscope is stability
Body of the microscope
• Eyepieces
• Binoculars
• Magnification
changer
• Objective lens
Eyepieces
Eyepieces
- Rubber cups
- Diopter settings
from -5 to +5
Eyepieces
(6.3x, 10x, 12.5x, 16x, and 20x)
Binoculars
Adjustment of the inter pupillary
distance
Straight
Inclined
Inclinable tubes
Straight Inclined Inclinable tubes
Binoculars
• 3-, 5-, or 6-step manual changers
• Manual & Power-zoom changer.
• located within the head of the microscope
Magnification changer
Power zoom changer microscopes
have foot controls, which allow the
surgical field to be focused and
magnified hands-free.
Objective lens
Determines operating distance
Focal length ranges from 100 – 400 mm
Many endodontic surgeons use a
200mm lens, which focuses at about 8 in.
How surgical operating microscope works ???
Magnification
Illumination
Instrumentation
Documentation
Magnification
• Power of the eyepiece
• Focal length of the binoculars
• Magnification changer factor
• Focal length of the objective lens
• Total magnification of a microscope:
TM = (FLT/FLOL) × EP × MV
FLT: Focal length of binocular tube
FLOL: Focal length of objective lens
EP: Eyepiece Power
MV: Magnification Value
Power of the eyepieces

Illumination
• It is important to keep in mind that maximum
magnification is used to check, and most of the
procedures are made at minimum-medium
magnification.
Illumination
Xenon bulb (100watt)
Width of light field 45 mm
Separation of the light beams
Stereoscope effect
COAXIAL ILLUMINATION
Galilean optics. Parallel optics enables the observer to focus at
infinity, relieving eyestrain.
Accessories
Beam splitter
Separation of light beam
Function of beam splitter
• Assistant scope.
• Condenser
• Documentation tools: video camera
• Strobe on objective lens
• Eye piece with reticule
Documentation
Quality slides and video proportional to quality of
magnification & illumination
Advantages:
• Communicate with referring dentist
• To educate patients and students
• To maintain required legal documentation
• Postural: posture should be perfect.
avoids tiring of eyes.
no need of wearing prescription eye wear.
• Procedural: improves manual abilities.
collateral vision decreases.
Procedure recording can be done.
procedural errors can be assessed.
• Psychological: Decreases psychological, physical,
Postural stress.
Increases personal and professional
satisfaction.
• Educational: Easy for us to gather images to file.
Procedures can be recorded and can be
presented in symposia and conferences.
• Shanelec and Tibbets[1998]
– Working without magnification, can make
movements that were 1–2 mm at a time.
– At 20× magnification, the refinement in movement
s can be as little as 10–20 microns (10–20/1000 of
a mm) at a time.
Tibbets LS, Shanelec DA. Periodontal Microsurgery. Dent Clin North Am. 1998; 42:339–359.
• Leknius and Geissberger, [1995] and
Zaugg et al. (2004):
– As magnification is incorporated, procedural errors
decrease significantly.
– The inclusion of a microscope resulted in fewer
errors than when a set of loupes was used.
Zaugg B, Stassinakis A, Hotz P. Influence of Magnification Tools on the Recognition of Simulated Preparation and Filling Errors. Schweiz Mo
natsschr Zahnmed. 2004; 114(9):890–896.
Improved & Ideal treatment Ergonomics
• All stooping and
bending is eliminated
• Constant bending
collapses the diaphragm
THE LAWS OF ERGONOMICS
• Class I motion: moving only the fingers
• Class II motion: moving only the fingers and wrists
• Class III motion: movement originating from the elbow
Class IV motion: movement originating from the shoulder
Positioning the DOM
• Operator positioning
• Rough positioning of the patient
• Positioning of the OM and focusing
• Adjustment of the interpupillary distance
• Fine positioning of the patient
• Parfocal adjustment
• Fine focus adjustment
• Assistant scope adjustment.
Operator Positioning
• At the 11- or 12-o’clock position
• 9-o’clock position comfortable when first learning to
use an DOM
• The hips are 90˚ to the floor, the knees are 90˚ to the
hips, and the forearms are 90˚ to the upper arms
• The patient is moved to accommodate this position.
Once the ideal position is established
lower magnifications to locate the
working area
The image is focused and stepped up
to higher magnifications if desired.
Rough positioning of the patient
The patient is placed in the trendelenberg
position and the chair raised until the patient in focus
Positioning of the OM and focusing
• Knowing the focal length of the objective lens, the
operator moves the microscope up and down until the
working area comes into focus.
Fine positioning of the patient
• Little movements can be done for the
definitive position of the patient.
• Maxillary teeth - horizontal
• Mandibular teeth - trendelenberg position
Parfocal adjustment
• The focused view of the working area will stay
sharp as the magnification is changed.
• It is mandatory that working area in focus to
the operator, it is also in same focus to the
assistant, for the video camera.
Operatory Design Principles for using DOM
• The organizing design principle using the OM
- circle of influence.
Disadvantages
• Need for specific training: as a DOM has a restricted
working field, 11mm -55mm
• An operator using a DOM can see only the tip of the
instruments, and they are used in delicate movements
of small amplitude
• High initial cost of the equipment and instruments
Use of Dental Operating Microscope
• Conventional endodontics:
• Preserving tooth substance
• Localization & visualization
• Locating Calcified Canals
• Final examination
• Removal of fractured instruments
• Obturation with warm gutta-percha
• Recognition & location of fractures
• Surgical Endodontics:
• Soft tissue management
• Root end procedures (apicoectomy with retrograde filling)
• Intentional Replantation
• Preserving tooth substance:
• Trephination opening
eg. MB2 canal
• Localization & visualization:
• Ultra sonic
• Appropriate magnification
• Locating calcified canals
• Specially…..
• Root Dilacerations
• Mid root bifurcations / trifurcations / sharp
demarcations of curvature
Removing fractured instrument:
• Traditional methods – perforations
- Gross destruction
• Operating microscope / ultrasonic tips/
High magnification
Recognition & location of fractures:
• High magnification
• Fracture identified - Methylene Blue
Perforation repair:
• Pro root MTA
• Micro instruments & ultrasonic attachments
Other Applications
• Removal of posts
• Cleaning of canals
• Handling vital tissue
Rod–Lens Endoscope
Made up of rods of glass working in junction
with a camera, light source, and monitor
Greater magnification than that achieved with loupes
or a microscope, with optical resolution comparable
with that of microscopes and/or loupes.
The use of the endoscope is therefore recommended for visualization of
surgical endodontic treatment.
• 2.7 mm lens diameter, 70 deg angulation, 3 cm length
rod–lens, are recommended for surgical endodontic visualization
• 4 mm lens diameter , 30 deg angulation, and 4 cm length rod–le
ns for non-surgical visualization through an occlusal
access opening.
• Hemostasis of the surgical field must be obtained
• Eliminate the fogging effect
Orascope
0.8 mm tip diameter and 0 deg lens and
the working portion is 15 mm in length
A canal must be prepared to a minimum size
of a 90 file in the coronal 15 mm of the canal.
If the canal is under-instrumented, a wedging
of the orascope may damage some of the
fiber optic bundles within the scope.
allows the orascope to provide imaging
of the apical third
Microscope–Endoscope Combination
Magnification versus Differentiation
CONCLUSION
• Endodontic procedures can be done in less time
because of the greater visibility of the root canal
anatomy and procedural errors can be reduced
‘You can only treat what you can see’

Editor's Notes

  1. Traditional endodontics has been based on feel not sight. Together with radiographs and electronic apex locators this blind approach has produced surprising success. There is, however, a significant failure rate, especially in long-term. Magnification helps the user not only to see more, but to see well.
  2. Loupes are essentially two mono-ocular microscopes with lenses mounted side by side and angled inward (convergent optics) to focus on an object. Most dental loupes used today are compound in design and contain multiple lenses with intervening air spaces. This is a significant improvement over simple magnification eyeglasses but falls short of the more expensive prism loupe design. Prism loupes: are actually low-power telescopes that use refractive prisms.
  3. Low range Magnification: (×2.5 - ×8). Orientation of surgical field & allows wide inspection of the field of view. Mid range Magnification: (×8 - ×14). Surgical procedure including curettage of the granulation tissue, resection of root tip, root –end preparation, & root –end filling. High range Magnification: (×14 - ×30). Observing the finer details & documentation purposes.
  4. The end of each eyepiece has a rubber cup that can be turned down for clinicians who wear eyeglasses. Eyepieces also have adjustable diopter settings. Diopter settings range from -5 to +5 and are used to adjust for accommodation, which is the ability to focus the lens of the eyes. Diopter setting is particularly important when an assistant scope and documentation equipment are used, so that everything is uniformly in focus (par focalled). It is suggested to check the diopter settings frequently. If documentation accessories are used, the eyepiece which is on the same side of the accessory should be provided with a “reticule” that will help to keep the images well centered in the field.
  5. The binoculars contain the eyepieces and allow the adjustment of the interpupillary distance. Their focal length is 125 or 160 mm. They are aligned manually or with a small knob until the two divergent circles of light combine to effect a single focus. Once the diopter setting and interpupillary distance adjustments have been made, they should not have to be changed until the microscope is used by a surgeon with different optical requirements. Binoculars are available with straight, inclined, or inclinable tubes. Straight tube binoculars are orientated so that the tubes are parallel to the head of the microscope. They are generally used in otology and are not well suited for dentistry. Inclined tubes are fixed at a 45° angle to the line of sight of the microscope .The inclinable tubes are adjustable through a range of angles and allow the clinician to always establish a very comfortable working position. It is therefore obvious that, even if more expensive, the inclinable binocular is always to be preferred.
  6. Manual step changers consist of lenses that are mounted on a turret that is connected to a dial located on the side of the microscope.The magnification is altered by rotating the dial. A power zoom changer is a series of lenses that move back and forth on a focusing ring to give a wide range of magnification factors. Focusing with a power zoom microscope is performed by a foot control or by a manual override control knob located on the head of the microscope. The advantage of the power zoom changers is that they avoid the momentary visual disruption or jump that occurs with manual step changers as the clinician rotates the turret and progresses up or down in magnification. The disadvantages are the following: the excursion from the minimum to the maximum magnification is quite slow, while it is must faster with the manual step changers; the number of lenses is much higher compared to the manual step changers, and this means a greater absorption of light; power zoom changer are much more expensive.
  7. Illumination with the DOM is coaxial with the line of sight. This means that light is focused between the eyes in such a fashion that you can look into the surgical site without seeing any shadows Two light source systems are commonly available: halogen light and xenon light. The halogen light frequently does not provide enough illumination for quality documentation especially at higher powers. The xenon light is much more powerful and provides a brighter light at about 5,000° Kelvin approximating day light. In both cases the light intensity is controlled by a rheostat and cooled by a fan. After the light reaches the surgical field, it is reflected back through the objective lens, through the magnification changer lenses, and through the binoculars and then exits to the eyes as two separate beams of light. The separation of the light beams is what produces the stereoscopic effect that allows the clinician to see depth of field.
  8. To supply the light to documentation tools Global Surgical Corporation makes a “Virtual Beam splitter”, which splits the light in a ratio of 95% to 5% instead of the traditional 50/50 . The split is done by having a totally reflective coating across a small area of the beam splitter, while the remaining area of the beam splitter is completely transmissive. This implies that the primary surgeon receives 100% of the light across the large area of the beam splitter, and the camera receives 100% of the light across the small area of the beam splitter. In practice, the amount of light received by the virtual beam splitter is enough for the assistant scope or for the video camera, but it is not enough for the 35 mm camera.
  9. Condenser reduces the illumination field size.
  10. The principle posits that all instruments and equipment needed for a procedure are within reach of either the clinician or the assistant, requiring no more than a class IV motion, and that most endodontic procedures are performed with class I or class II motions only . The principle assumes that the most ergonomic way to work is to perform all procedures under the OM, including the diagnostic examination, oral cancer screening,anesthesia, and rubber dam placement. Therefore, the circle of influence design principle places the OM at the center of the operatory design, and all the ergonomic movements necessary to work with this technology are centered within those circles.
  11. Differentiation is defined as making something distinct or specialized.
