“…The use of an endoscope is of great help in microsurgical procedures by providing visualization of areas in which direct vision is not possible. In endodontics, only a few authors have reported the use of flexible endoscopes to enhance vision of the root tips of a tooth in apical surgery (95,(122)(123)(124)(125)(126). Recent experimental studies (95,125) compared the effectiveness of different visual aids, such as an endoscope, in identifying dentinal cracks after rootend resection.…”

The dentinal radicular microcrack is a difficult clinical problem to diagnose and treat, and it is one of the most common reasons for tooth extraction. These microcracks start in the radicular dentin, and laboratory studies have linked crack formation to some routine endodontic procedures, namely root canal preparation, obturation, and retreatment. Most of these studies were performed using destructive methods, such as the sectioning technique, previously developed for the study of the internal anatomy of teeth. Nowadays, technological advances in the field of imaging may lead to a more thorough understanding of dentinal microcracks. This article seeks to critically appraise the methodological aspects involved in the study of dentinal radicular microcrack formation after root canal preparation, obturation, and retreatment.

“…7,8 Shubhashini et al reported the use of 30-and 70-deg endoscopes for microsurgical procedures. 9 Endoscopes have also been shown to have comparatively high sensitivity for in vitro studies involving the correct identification of dentinal cracks 10 and visualization of interradicular structures. 11 A discussion on the use of endoscopy in endodontics, highlighting its ease of use and visualization during dental procedures, was undertaken by Moshonov and Nahlieli.…”

Ergonomics and ease of visualization play a major role in the effectiveness of endodontic therapy. Using only commercial off-the-shelf components, we present the pulpascope—a prototype of a compact, handheld, wireless dental instrument for pulp cavity imaging. This instrument addresses the current limitations of occupational injuries, size, and cost that exist with current endodontic microscopes used for root canal procedures. Utilizing a 15,000 coherent, imaging fiber bundle along with an integrated illumination source and wireless CMOS sensor, we demonstrate images of various teeth with resolution of ?48???m and angular field-of-view of 70 deg.

“…The 30 and 70-degree endoscope has been used as an adjunct to endodontic surgery involving maxillary and mandibular molars. This instrument, with angulations of 30 and 70 degrees has been found to allow visualization in formerly inaccessible areas (17). Surgery involving the upper second molar with roots that are many times positioned behind the disto-buccal root of the maxillary fi rst molar can be readily visualized.…”

Microsurgery is a more precise modifi cation of present procedures with less operative trauma and improved healing. The basic risk with traditional periradicular surgery arises from potential damage to major vessels or nerve bundles. These potential problems can be fi xed using optical magnifying tools such as dental operating microscopes and endoscopes. Instruments have been also designed to take the full advantage of increased visibility. The higher magnifi cation and illumination is favorable in all phases of periradicular surgery. The article focuses mainly on the advantages of optical magnifying devices by root-end resection (Tab. 1, Ref. 22). Full Text in PDF www.elis.sk.
