Microdentistry

Objectives: Objective of the proposed design and further modification of this operating microscope is to achieve magnification for improved ergonomics.
Methods:
Method employed in achieving magnification is an assembly of optical elements (lenses) magnifying the normal visual scale. Visual information is transferred through the lenses to the digital sensor that will display the magnified image on the operator’s screen. In this design the operator refers to the screen for magnification.
The proposed design is at its pre-clinical stage. The operator will be working on extracted teeth at the initial level. Modification in the design will take the operator form the extracted teeth to the typodont stage and finally to the chair side stage of the operating microscope.
Results: Result Comparing visual information of the unaided eye to the magnified image results in magnification of approximately x16 to x20.
Conclusions: Conclusion The advantages of magnification are improved precision, improved ergonomics, ease of documentation, and the ability to more fully communicate with patients, staff, and colleagues.
