Dental Surgical Microscopy

The use of microscopes in dental surgery has a wide range of applications, since it allows an enhanced visualization of fine anatomical details and tissue structures. By using higher magnification and seeing more, dental professionals can apply their skills more precisely and optimize their workflow. Some of the most common applications of Dental Surgical Microscopy, also referred to as micro-dentistry, include the following:

• Endodontics and endodontic surgery
• Periodontics and periodontal surgery
• Implantology
• Prosthodontics and aesthetic dentistry
• Restorative dentistry
• Oral surgery
• Routine dental techniques

Dentistry is one of the most exposed professions to the COVID-19 virus due to the greatest physical proximity to patients*. Using Leica dental microscopes for examinations and treatment procedures offers the following benefits:

• Increased physical distance between the patient and the dentist
• Reduced risk of exposure to patient projections and splatter
• Microscope coating  that provides an antimicrobial effect on surfaces to reduce pathogens
• Easy-to-clean microscopes, thanks to internally routed cables, as well as objectives and lenses that can be easily disinfected with ethanol
• The microscopes’ detachable parts, including handles and sterilizable covers, are made of robust materials to ensure durability and functionality during regular autoclaving and sterilization

To choose the microscope that best fits the dentist’s needs, it is helpful to know some of the decisive features of a modern dental microscope.

• High optical quality, including high resolution, a large depth of field and true-to-life color representation.
• Powerful, yet safe microscope illumination for working in deep and narrow cavities.
• Ergonomic design and adjustable accessories to avoid strain and fatigue from repetitive movements and maintaining unnatural positioning during lengthy procedures.
• Functionality and workflow integration of the dental microscope with your dental practice environment.
• Documentation features, including image and video displays, as well as recording functions for patient files, training purposes, and presentations.
• Hygiene protocols – the dental microscope and related dental surgery instruments should be designed to promote easy cleaning and sterilization to support high hygiene standards.
