Microendodontics at Different Levels From Routine to Complex Cases: A Case Series

Over the past 30 years, the precision with which endodontics is performed has improved as a result of the advancements in technologies. Endodontists deal with intricate cases regularly, which appears to necessitate greater visual acuity. The invention of the dental operating microscope has been the most significant revolution. Nonetheless, due to a variety of behavioral variables, the use of magnification has yet to be adopted into general practice. The present case series aims to provide insight into the use of dental operating microscopes at different levels (routine to complex) in the field of endodontics and seeks to encourage the use of magnification in daily practice. The first level shows the non-surgical endodontic treatment of the mandibular molar with a curved canal. In the second case, the separated instrument was retrieved non-surgically using ultrasonics, whereas in the third case, surgical intervention (autotransplantation) was required for the removal of the fractured instrument. The microscope offers numerous advantages, including improved lighting, magnification, and vision of the operation field. High magnification aids in conservative access as well as identifying isthmuses, interpreting the complexity of root canal architecture, removing fractured instruments, minimizing soft and hard tissue stress, and detecting fractures and microfractures. If incorporated into daily practice, this magnifying device will drastically increase the success rate of procedures.
