Recent Advances in Endodontic Visualization: A Review

Abstract

Advances in endodontics in the past two decades have given endodontists important new tools to save natural dentition. By providing both intense focused light as well as a high degree of magnification, the endoscope, orascope, dental loupes and operating microscopes has become an important part of the armamentarium for many endodontists. Each instrument has inherent advantages and disadvantages. Here, we describe the recent advances as well as the traditional magnification tools in field of endodontics.
