Microscopia na endodontia: revisão de literatura

Abstract

The use of the surgical microscope in Endodontics became, together with the development of new instruments and materials, one of the most relevant steps in the development of this specialty, allowing the endodontist to perform procedures and obtain results previously considered inaccessible, becoming obtainable, for allowing appropriate access to the original structures, in order to preserve the architecture of the tissues to be intervened. The objective of this study it is constituted is to present a review of the literature about the systematization of knowledge about Endodontic surgical microscopy and its application in diagnosis, conventional Endodontics and surgical. In this literature review, the Portals of Periodicals CAPES, the Scientific Electronic Library Online-SciELO and the Virtual Health Library-LILACS in the Portuguese, English and Spanish languages, monographs and academic books with the subject in question were consulted in the period from 2006 to 2018, but also looking for some important data from the year 1992; being addressed in this study through subheadings such as the characteristics of operative microscopy, benefits of the Endodontic microscope, endodontic microsurgery, ergonomic factors and documentation. In order to demonstrate the importance of using surgical microscopy for modern dentistry, with the support of sophisticated image enhancement systems, presenting itself as a work guided by the detail and precision of its procedures, expressing the excellence of science.
