Question Paper Discussion-Conservative Dentistry & Endodontics-Part 8
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
The video concludes its discussion on the restoration of endodontically treated teeth by detailing the essential components, which include residual tooth structure, restorative materials like posts and cores, and luting agents. A post is defined as a rigid material placed in the root canal to reinforce non-vital teeth, transmit forces to the root apex, and prevent fracture while providing retention for the core and crown. These posts are classified based on their fabrication method into pre-fabricated or custom-cast types, by shape into tapered or parallel-sided, and by engagement into passive or active designs. Additionally, the concept of the ferrule effect is explained as a critical metal band that encircles the tooth to protect its integrity and resist lateral forces, requiring an axial wall height of at least 1 to 2 mm. The core buildup serves as a supra-gingival foundation for the final restoration, with materials like amalgam and composites selected based on their compressive strength and ease of manipulation.
The presentation then shifts to the management of traumatic dental injuries, focusing primarily on avulsion, which is the complete displacement of a tooth from its socket. Immediate management involves re-implanting the tooth into the socket or storing it in an appropriate medium like HBSS, milk, or saliva if replantation is delayed beyond 60 minutes. The treatment protocol varies depending on whether the root apex is open or closed; for closed apices, necrotic tissue removal and subsequent root canal treatment are necessary after re-implantation, whereas open apices aim for spontaneous revascularization before resorting to apexification if healing does not occur. The prognosis of replanted teeth is monitored through frequent follow-ups, with favorable outcomes showing normal mobility and no signs of resorption or infection, while unfavorable outcomes may present as ankylosis, symptomatic pain, or inflammatory resorption.
Further addressing traumatic injuries, the video outlines the management of crown fractures involving the pulp, distinguishing between complicated fractures that require vital pulp therapy or root canal treatment based on the tooth's developmental stage and time since injury. It elaborates on specific procedures such as direct pulp capping for pinpoint exposures, partial pulpotomy for shallow exposures under 24 hours, and full pulpotomy for deeper exposures or immature teeth with incomplete root formation. The discussion also covers apexogenesis to allow continued root development in young patients and apexification using calcium hydroxide to induce a calcific barrier in necrotic immature teeth. Additionally, the classification of traumatic injuries is reviewed, including Ellis classifications for crown fractures and distinctions between vertical, oblique, or horizontal root fractures, with specific splinting protocols depending on the fracture level and displacement.
The final sections cover tooth resorption and magnification techniques used in modern dentistry. Tooth resorption is categorized into trauma-induced, infection-induced, and hyperplastic types, with detailed explanations of internal resorption, which appears as an oval enlargement of the canal space often presenting clinically as a "pink spot," versus external resorption which alters the root contour asymmetrically. Treatment strategies depend on whether perforation has occurred, ranging from non-surgical endodontic therapy to surgical resection or intentional replantation. The video concludes by introducing magnification tools, specifically dental loupes and operating microscopes, highlighting their roles in enhancing visualization for diagnosing cracks, locating calcified canals, and performing microsurgical procedures like retro-preparations, thereby improving clinical proficiency and patient outcomes in conservative dentistry and endodontics.

Hello everyone, welcome back to another
section of dentistry and more. Today we
are going to discuss the last section of
previous year question paper that has
comes under the topics restoration of
endodonically treated tooth, management
of traumatic injuries, tooth resorption
and last one is magnification.
So we are moving to first topic that is
restoration of endodonically treated
tooth and the probable short notes are
postendodontic restoration types of post
ferule effect and last one is core.
Now we are moving to the components of
resto tooth that is uh the com
components includes residual tooth
structure restorative components that is
post core and looting agent. So in the
figure you can see the coronal
restoration core buildup post and there
is three uh 3 to 5 mm of guture for a C.
Next one is post. So it is a relatively
rigid restorative material that is
placed in root of a nonvital teeth for
restoration of the core to transmit the
forces on the core of the root. So
traditionally this endodonically treated
tooth it receives a post to reinforce
them and crown to protect them. Uh so
what are the purpose of using this post
there? It helps to retain the core. It
helps to distribute the stress through
the radicular denting to the root aex.
So these are the ideal requirements of
the post. It's very important. And the
post should provide maximum protection
to the root to resist the root fracture.
It provide maximum retention to core and
crown. Uh be easy to place, be less
technique sensitive. So be visible, be
biompactable. So these are the idea
requirements you can follow this.
Now we are moving to the classification
of the post. So this post can be
classified according to how they are
made. So it is classified into
pre-fabricated post and custom cast
post. In case of pre-fabricated post it
includes metallic post and non-metallic
post and in case of metallic there is
gold alloy high platinum alloy and
non-metallic there is carbon fiber cords
fiber somewhere like that and in case of
cast uh custom cast post it includes
custom cast metal post and core or
ceramic and polyethylene fiber post. uh
in case of custom cast metal there is
gold alloy, platinum, paladium alloy uh
like that. So this is according to how
they are made. Next one is according to
the shape they classified into tapered
and parallel sized. Uh so in case of
tapered that is self- threatening and
also smoothsided.
Now we are moving to according to a
method of engagement of the dentine that
is classified into passive and also
active. In case of passive it includes
cast, smooth and serrated.
Next one is according to material of the
post it is classified into metal, fiber
post and also ceramic. So these are the
classification.
Uh now we are moving to the fur effects.
It's a very important question. It's a
frequently asked question. So it is
defined as a metal ring or band that is
used to fit the crown or crown of the
tooth. It can be correlated to wine
barrels and the metal band which
encompasses the wooden barrel that gives
support when the barrel is full. So it's
a gram uh diagrammatic representation of
the furlay effect.
So this figure is very important and if
you wrote this figure or if you mention
this figure you can score more marks and
this one is the requirements of the
ferule that the axial wall height of the
furlet must be greater than or equal to
1 to 2 mm. The furlet should consist of
parallel axial walls and the margins of
the preparation should rest on the sound
to structure. So uh this requirements
this you can mention it.
Next one is functions of ferule. So it
includes uh it protects the integrity of
the tooth and it reduces the lateral
forces. It resist wedging effect and it
resist the functional liver forces. So
the functions are also important.
Now we are moving to the core. Uh so
this core it is a supra gingial portion
that replaces the missing coronal to
structure and forms the center of the
new restoration. So it can be available
as dental amalgam resin modified glass
composite resins like that and the ideal
requirements includes uh this
compressive strength to resist the
interal forces ease of manipulation low
cost easily available. So these are some
of the idle requirements
and the materials used are mainly
amalgam. Uh so as we mentioned early
amalgam glass anoma compositives and its
advantages, disadvantages, indications
and precautions these are all given.
So these all about the restoration of
the endodonically treated tooth. Now we
are moving to the next topic that is
management of traumatic injuries.
So from this chapter there is long essay
includes the part what is aulion
describe the management healing pattern
and prognosis of aulion and the short
essays includes classify traumatic
injuries of the teeth and explain in
detail about management of crown
fracture that involving the pulp and uh
next one is same question as that of the
long essay and third uh that is healing
after root fracture and aulion fourth
classification and describe about root
fracture management the short is that is
very important Apexification,
aexogenesis, cracked tooth syndrome and
spinting.
So first we are moving to avulsion. So
this aulion it is defined as complete or
total displacement of the tooth from its
socket. So mainly this maxillary central
incizes are uh frequently a teeth and in
case of management there is immediate
management that includes the teeth has
tooth has already uh been re-implanted
to the site and the patient is asked to
rinse mouth and the tooth uh is replaced
in its socket using gentle or steady
finger pressure. After that it is um
washed under tap water and the patient
is asked to take to the dentist
immediately
and at the dental office that leave the
tooth in its place. Clean the affected
area with water saline or 0.12%age
chlorhexidine. Now suture the ginger
have a laceration. After that apply a
flexible spleen for one to two weeks and
intra canal corticosteroids medication
can be placed immediately or shortly
following re-implantation or it is left
for at least 2 weeks. And if the patient
or parent is not replaced the tooth in
it or cannot replace the tooth in its
socket then uh the tooth is placed in a
storage medium while transporting it to
the dental office.
And as we have mentioned earlier storage
media it includes HBSS patients own
saliva that includes vestibule or
container into which the patient's piece
milk coconut butter and these are some
of the storage mediums and this is the
management of the aster teeth in case of
extraoral dry time of less than 60
minutes
and this is more than 60 minutes. Now we
are moving to first one is less than 60
minutes. In that case administer the
local anesthesia. After that irrigate
the socket with the saline. And now
examine the socket for possible fracture
or any reposition. And two parapical
radioraph from the mesial and distal
angulation they are taken. Um and also
while CBCT should be considered to
confirm the reposition of the tooth and
rule out the alvola bone. In case of
closed apex, this necrotic tissue is
removed from the root surface and after
that the socket is irrigated with saline
and this tooth is replanted gently into
the with digital pressure. After that
apply passive or flexible spring for 2
weeks and initiate the RCT with 2 weeks
of re uh replantation
calcium hydroxide intraanal medicin for
4 weeks that is followed by opturation
and follow uh at 2 weeks 4 weeks 3
months 6 months 1 year and then yearly
at least for at least 5 years. This is
in case of closed aex and now we are
moving to open aex. It's also same that
is remove necrotic tissue from the root
and after that it is regated with the
saline and the tooth is gently replant
into the socket with the digital
pressure. After that uh the spleen is
applied for at least 2 weeks and this
antibiotics they are recommended if
there is any infection and spontaneous
revascularization is the primary goal.
So if does not occurs epoxification or
root canal treatment can be done and
followup is 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 3 months,
6 months, 1 year and yearly at least for
5 years. Same as that of the closed
depex.
Now in case of more than 60 seconds uh
all these are somewhat same and that is
administer local anesthesia. After that
you get the socket with saline. exam in
the socket for proximal any possible
fracture or reposition and this
radioraph is taken. Uh so in case of
closed aexics this necrotic tissue is
removed and the socket is irrigated and
the tooth is generally replaced into the
socket with digital pressure. After that
the spleen is placed for 2 weeks and RCT
is recommended with two weeks of
replantation. And here this calcium
hydroxide intraanal medicamment for 4
weeks is done. It is followed by
opturation and followup is done. Case of
open aex also uh the first step is
similar.
After that uh spontaneous
revascularization,
pexification or root canal treatment is
done and followup is also done.
Next one is prognosis. uh this replanted
tooth it can be monitored by frequent
controls during first years that is once
a week during the month of 1 3 6 or 12
and then yearly thereafter and uh the
favorable outcomes include in case of
closed aex uh the tooth is asytomatic
with normal mobility
and normal percussion sound and there is
no radioraph evidence of resorption or
peradicular oitis and the laminina dura
will appear normal normal. So these are
the symptoms and in case of open aexics
uh this there will be normal mobility
with normal percussion and there is
radioraph evidence of arrested or
continued root formation and the ruption
is also found. But in case of
unfavorable outcomes in case of closed
aics the tooth will be symptotomatic
with mobility or there is no mobility
that is ankylosis and there is high
pitched percussion sound and in
radioraph there will be resorption
present uh with inflammatory infection
related resorption and in case of open
aex the tooth will be uh symptomatic
with mobility uh or ankylosis and there
is high pitched percussion sound same as
that of the closed apex.
And in case of ankylosis the crown of
the tooth will appears to be infraial
position. So this there will in case of
radiographic uh diagnosis there will be
resorption or ankylosis.
Now we are moving to the management of
fractures involving the crown. So this
crown fracture it involves enamel,
dentine and pulp. They are called as
complicated crown fracture. So the
diagnosis can be patients history,
clinical examination, radioraph and
vitality test.
The fact is determining the choice of
treatment plan that is first one is
stage of development of the tooth. In
case of an immature vital teeth, this uh
vital pulp therapy like pulp capping,
partial palpotomy or full palpotomy can
done uh until this aex is completely
formed. Or in case of immature nonvital
tooth the aexification is done using
this calcium hydroxide or MTA that is
followed by maturation and in case of
mature tooth this root canal treatment
can be done. Next factor time between
the accident and the treatment. So if
the pulp is exposed for less than 48
hours then this pulpotomy is preferred
and if the pulp is exposed more than 48
hours then palpecttomy or RCD is more
preferred. Next one is associated
periodontal injury
that is palpto is indicated in such
cases where the surrounding parodonium
is damaged. So and the nutritional
supply of the tooth is also affected
there. And last one is restorative
treatment plan. In case of composite
treatment partial palputum is decided.
However to receive a complex restoration
then palpto is more preferred.
Now we are moving to aexogenesis. So
this is uh mainly done in immature vital
teeth. This vital pulp therapy like pulp
capping or partial pulpotomy or full
pulpotomy. It is done till aex is
completely formed that is known as
aexogenesis.
And next one is direct pulp capping that
involves the placement of biompactable
agent on healthy pulp tissue that have
been in a tently exposed due to
excavation of carries or dramatic
injury. So these are some of the
indications of direct pulp capping that
is pinpoint exposure. There will be
control hemorrhage, no palpal necrosis
and absence of swelling and tenderness.
And the agents used for pulp capping are
calcium hydroxide, MTA, enamel matrix
derivative, triricalium phosphate and
bone morphogenic proteins. So now we are
moving to the procedure of the pulp
capping that is anesthesia is
administrated first that is followed by
rubber placement. After that the
bleeding is controlled with the sterile
moist cotton pellet. Then the exposure
site it is converted by a pulp capping
agent that is followed by bacteria seed
restorative material and the patient
should be recalled after 6 weeks to
evaluate the formation of heart tissue
barrier.
Next we are moving to palpotomy and
first one is shallow palpotomy or uh
partial palpotomy.
So uh it is also known as modified
pulpotomy procedure and the materials
used are usually calcium hydroxide or
MTA and the indications includes pulp
exposure is less than 1 mm in diameter.
Pulp have been exposed for less than 24
hours. Pulp responds positively to
vitality test and there is absence of
infection and the procedure includes
that is anesthesia is administrated
first that is followed by rubber dam
isolation 1 to 2 mm pulp it is removed
with the sterile diamond b and the uh
copious water coolant with the help of
intermittent light strokes the low tooth
structure is the replaced with acid
composite resid
so this treatment It is considered to be
successful when there is no evidence of
peradicular pathological changes, no
evidence of resorption and evidence of
continued tooth formation. Now we are
moving to uh full palpotomy. Its
indications include traumatic pulp
exposure beyond 72 hours, carries
exposure, pulp response positively to
vitality test, absence of infection and
primarily indicated if root appex is not
yet completely developed.
The materials used in case of full
palpoam is calcium hydroxide and MTA.
And the procedure includes
anesthesia is administrated followed by
rubber dam isolation and the inter
coronal pulp up to the level of root
orifice. It is removed by using a
sterile bur uh or laser palptomy. Then
it is run through with the sterile
saline and then the bleeding is
controlled with sterile cotton pellet.
After that calcium hydroxide dressing is
placed that is followed by zinc
phosphate or glass anoma cement as a
base and it is restored to provide a
bacterial tight seal.
Now we are moving to aexification. Its
indications includes uh necros pulp in
the developing tooth with incomplete
root formation. open aexes with thin
dentinal walls in which instrumentation
techniques cannot create an aallel stop
to facilitate effective root obturation.
The materials used in case of a
pexification includes calcium hydroxide
MTA triricalium phosphate bond
morphogenic proteins and the procedure
for aexification is the affected tooth.
It is isolated using rubber dam. After
that the assist cavity is prepared and
the pulp reminants are removed by using
barbed bres and a file it is placed into
the root canal to determine the working
length.
After that uh the canal it is irrigated
using 0.5%age
um sodium hypogchloride and it is dried
with pulp paper points and the canal it
is disinfected using calcium hydroxide
that is mixed in a creamy consistency
and it is recalled after one week and
the debridement procedure is repeated
that is followed by placement of thick
paste of pure calcium hydroxide and it
is mixed with the sterile saline with
the help of plug
And the canal it is back filled to
provide bacterial seal canal. The assist
cavity is then restored with a temporary
filling and the patient is recalled
after 3 months to evaluate the heart
tissue barrier and if the epical barrier
is not formed the procedure is again
repeated and if the ale barrier is
formed it gives a cy cheese consistency
and the thickness of the heart tissue
barrier formation it is confirmed
radiographically by taking the
radioraph. While a hand file it is used
with light pressure to prop the apical
strobe and calcium hydroxide it is
removed with sodium hypogchloride along
with ultrasonic followed by opturation.
Next we are moving to palpecttomy. So it
is defined as the complete removal of
the pulp to the level of apical forammen
and the indications includes uh if the
exposure is longer than 72 hours during
or uh duration or the pulp is damaged
beyond the recovery and when the pulp is
degenerated or questionable vitality.
The procedure is of the palpecttomy is
affected tooth. It is isolated with
rubber dum as this cavity is prepared
and the pulp reminants are removed. File
is placed to establish the working
length. Shape cleaning and shaping is
done uh with sodium hypogchlorite. Then
the canal is dried with paper points and
suitable intra cananal medicines is
placed and after that the assist cavity
is restored with temporary filling and
in case of next visit the canal is
checked for any drainage and if the
canal is dry then the opturation is
completed with assist cavity is restored
with resin restoration.
Now we are moving to the classification
of traumatic injuries of teeth. First
one is alis classification. The nine
classes that is first one is
enamel fracture class one class two
enamel and dendine fracture without pulp
exposure class three fractures involving
enamel dendine and pulp class four
nonvital teeth class five aulion class
six root fracture without involvement of
crown structure class seven displacement
of tooth without fracture of the crown
class eight loss of crown
uh class 9 trauma to decided teeth.
Next one is other modification that
includes enamel infraction, enamel
fracture, enamel dentendine fracture,
complicated crown fracture,
uncomplicated crown root fracture
somewhere like that.
Now we are moving to types of root
fractures and management. So it can be
defined as vertical, oblique or
horizontal fracture of the cementum,
dentine or pulp. So it can be complete
or incomplete. And so this fracture of
the root can occurs at three levels that
is coronal, midroot and apical root. And
the clinical features include there will
be tenderness on percussion and
palpation. Tooth will be mobile
displacement and bleeding from the
gingial sulcus uh and also negative
response to tooth to vitality test.
The treatment in case of coronal root
fracture that if the fracture line it
will if it is above the crest of alvola
bone then the coronal fragment is
extracted. The aallel portion is
endonically extruded for post and core
restoration and if the fracture line is
below the crest of alvola bone it is
printed as for mid root fracture. And in
case of midappial root fracture first
one is splinting and the tooth exhibit
normal mobility without displacement. No
splint it is required and when the tooth
exhibit displacement and mobility the
fracture it is reduced and a rigid
splint it is placed for a period of 4 to
8 weeks. So this will promote healing
which is verified radiographically and
splinting can be done using composite
orthonic brackets acrylic or cast splint
cementation and fiber splint and most
common the pulp in the coronal segment
it is necros leaving the apical segment
vital. uh in in these cases this
palpecttomy RCT or aexification of the
coronal segment can be done and when
both these segments contain necrotic
pulp within then an endodonic treatment
is preferred in the coronal segment that
is followed by surgical removal of the
aal segment.
So these are the difference between
aexogenesis and aexification. In
aexogenesis as we have mentioned earlier
it is defined as treatment of vital pulp
by capping or palpotomy in order to
prevent the continued growth of the root
and closure of the open aex. But in case
of aexification it is defined as the
method to induce a calcific barrier
across an open aex of an immature
pulpless tooth.
Now we are moving to healing after the
root fracture. So uh this root fracture
it shows healing in following ways like
healing with calcified tissues in which
fractured
fragments are in close contact healing
with in interproximal connective tissue
in which the radiographically fragments
are separated by radolucent line and
healing with interroximal bone and
connective tissue. Here the bone
fragments they are separated by a
distinct bony bridge and interroximal
inflammatory tissue without healing and
radiographically it shows widening of
fracture line.
Now we are moving to cracked tooth
syndrome. So uh cracked tooth syndrome
in this uh you column you can see the
ethiology factors and examples.
Ethiology this cracked tooth syndrome
can occurs due to res in case of
restorative procedures factors that is
inadequate tooth preparation and stress
concentration.
Case of occlusionally there will be
masticatory trauma and parapunction and
miscellaneous that is thermal cycling
and dental instruments.
This is the American Association of
Endodonist classification of cracked
teeth. So you can go through this
column.
Next one is the treatment plan for the
fractured tooth. Uh that is in case of
small crack
the treatment is uh remove the fractured
segment and after that restoration of
the tooth. But in case of large crack
that is pulp involved, pulp not involved
and hopeless prognosis. In case of pulp
involved that is endodonic therapy with
immediate stabilization with orthodontic
band. After that final restoration is
done. And if the pulp is not involved
then the occlusal adjustment is done
with immediate stabilization and
permanent stabilization using bonded
restoration.
And in case of hopeless prognosis like
vertical crack or poor uh crown root
ratio, the only uh treatment is
extraction.
That's all about the management of
traumatic injuries. Now we are moving to
next section that is tooth resorption.
And the probable short nodes are
cervical root resorption, internal root
resorption, internal and external root
resorption, inversive cervical
resorption.
It's a classification of the root
resorption. So it's classified into
three type that is trauma induced root
resorption, infection induced root
resorption and hyperlastic invasive root
resorption. And the case of trauma
induced there is surface transient
apical internal pressure orthodontic and
replacement resorption. In case of
infection there is internal inflammatory
external inflammatory and also
communicating internal and external
inflammatory resorption. And last
hyperlastic that is internal resorption,
inversive coronal uh resorption,
inversive cervical resorption and
inversive radicular resorption. So this
is the classification of root
resorption. Now we are moving to
cervical root resorption or extraanal
invasive resorption. So it is a type of
inflammatory root resorption that is
occurs immediately below the epical
epithelial attachment of the tooth and
some of the ethiologies are orthodontic
treatment, trauma, bleaching of nonvital
teeth, bxism, parodontal treatment etc.
These are the classification.
Now we are moving to internal resorption
that is according to Schaefer this
internal resorption. It is an unusual
form of tooth resorption that begins
centrally within the tooth apparently
initiated in most cases by a pecular
inflammation of the pulp. So it is
characterized by an oval enlargement
oval-shaped enlargement of root canal
space and ethiology includes
longstanding chronic inflammation of the
pulp carries related pulpitis traumatic
injuries atrogenic injuries like deep
restorative procedures application of
heat over the pulp pulpotomy using
calcium hydroxide
and the synonyms includes chronic
perforating hypo hyperplasia of the pulp
Internal granuloma, odendroblast, pink
tooth of memory and some of the clinical
features includes it is usually
asytomatic until the root is perforated
and the patient may complains of pain
when the lesion perforates and the
tissue is exposed to oral fluids and the
mostly affected teeth are maxillary
central incizes. Usually a single teeth
is involved but sometimes there will be
multiple teeth and it occurs in
permanent as well as the decidious teeth
and in case of permanent it will spread
more rapidly and this granulation tissue
it can clinically manifest as a pink
spot where the crown dentine destruction
it is severe that leads to pink tooth
appearances
and the radiographic features include
outline of lesion that appears as
uniform from round to oval radolucent
enlargement of the pulse space and the
root canal that is distortion of
original root canal outline. Next is the
type of internal resorption that is
internal replacement resorption and
internal inflammatory resorption. So the
treatment options includes uh if that is
without perforation then anodontic
therapy is done with per perforation
then it is non-surgically calcium
hydroxide therapy followed by opturation
surgically there is surgical flap root
resection and intentional replantation.
So these are the differences between the
internal and external resorption. So
definition
uh you can read and the canal space in
case of internal it is oval shaped
and it causes expansion of the canal and
in case of external the canal shape it
is not altered and the pink tooth uh
that is hypoplastic vascular pulp tissue
showing through the tooth and here the
pink tooth is not seen so the pulp is
non vital symmetry it is symmetrical
ical defect through uh though may be
eccentric and in case of external it
will be usually asymmetrical.
So these some of the differences are
here you can see
the figure you can see the internal
resorption and external resorption.
So that's all about the tooth uh
resorption. Now we are moving to last
section that is magnification. This
includes loops, dental or surgical
operating microscopes.
First we are moving to dental loops. Um
so it is classified by the optical
method in which they produce
magnification and it is also based on
how the lenses are lenses are mounted on
the frame. So the classification uh
there are three types that is uh diopter
flat plane single lens or surgical
telescope and last one is surgical
telescope with the
so these are classified based on how the
lens are mounted to the frame classified
in two types that is flip up and through
the lens and the features uh of both
these are that includes mobility of the
lens adjustment ment of the optics
ability to share between operators cost
and weight.
Now we are moving to dental or
surgically operated microscope. It incl
uh it improves the clinical proficiency
and deliver better treatment outcomes
for the patient and the parts of
microscopes includes uh eyepiece lens
binoculars magnification changer and
objective lens.
So here you can see the dental operating
microscope.
Next one is how the dental operating
microscope works. To appreciate what a
surgical operating microscope can do, it
is essential to understand the various
aspect of its working.
So that includes magnification,
illumination, documentation and mounting
a microscope.
So clinical uses of microscope at
different levels of magnification
includes low magnification, medium
magnification and high magnification. In
case of low magnification, it is ideal
for tooth examination and initial assist
preparation. The wider field of view is
useful to gain orientation in relation
to adjacent teeth and anatomic
structures. In case of medium
magnification, it is most commonly used
for most non-surgical and surgical andic
procedures. And the range of
magnification, it provides adequate
field of view and also depth of field.
Now we are moving to high magnification.
It is used sparingly during minute
procedures such as instrument retrieval.
It also used during documentation of the
clinical work. However, the limited
field of view and loss of focus of
magnification a challenge during minor
moments make clinical work at these
levels of magnification.
Now we are moving to clinical
application of dental operating
microscope in endodonics.
So some of the clinical applications are
first one is enhanced clinical
visualization of area of interest,
diagnosis of cracks,
conservative assess refinement, removal
of pulp stones and tracing mist or
calcified canals. Identify atypical root
canal anatomy. Assessment of assessment
during shaping, cleaning and obturation
procedures. prevention and management of
endodonic misshapes that includes
perforation management, retrieval of
separated instruments. Uh retreatment of
endodonic failures and last one is
microsurgical endodonics
for creating smaller osteotomy.
Inspection of resected root surface,
retrop preparation, retrofill and micro
suturing.
So here ends the magnification
and uh so here ends the conservative
dentistry and endodonics question paper.
Hope you all understood and if you have
any doubts you can put it in the comment
box. Thank you for hearing my words.
Thank you.
