Clinical Microscopy: An Important Adjunct to Multiple Phases of Clinical Care
The introduction of magnification to dentistry revolutionized the ability of dentists to diagnose and conduct treatment due to improved visual acuity and the flawless illumination provided. Regardless of specialty, the microscope provides more detailed visual information to the clinician throughout all phases of treatment. A versatile, yet integral tool, the microscope can be used at the comprehensive examination to aid in diagnosis, to perform restorative procedures and to deliver restorations to ensure exceptional marginal adaptation. Furthermore, the photographic and video capabilities provide visual data to aide in patient communication and education. Demonstrating oral conditions to the patient gives them the power and motivation to take responsibility for their oral health. Additionally, using the clinical microscope throughout patient care provides a medical-legal record of treatment from first contact to completion of treatment.

Micro-Invasive Periodontics
Pain-free procedures and minimized post-operative trauma have become patients' primary concerns, and emphasis is now being placed on the aspect of non-surgical approach for treating periodontal disease as well as placing dental implants. In order to achieve these, microscopically enhanced therapies provide a new way for insight into the solutions. Under the microscope,"flapless approach" is no more equated with"blind treatment". The utilization of this perfect visual tool offers an aid as an eye opener for the dental clinicians. With the high power magnification, dentist's vision can actually pass through tiny openings such as pocket entrances and crestal gingival punched accesses. As a result, there would be no more need for traditional open flap surgery to create visibly large wounds.

The Operative Microscope in Everyday Restorative Practice
It seems that there's a general idea among dentists that using a microscope will slow down one's practice, making it more difficult to perform ordinary procedures. This presentation will show that the use of a microscope not only can make dentistry easier but also helps perform more precise, esthetics and long lasting restorations.

Macro - vs. Microsurgery: Healing Potential of Microsurgical Procedures
When maximum precision is required in performing surgery to satisfy particular esthetic demands, a surgical microscope may represent a useful tool. Normally we will use the Probing Pocket Depth or attachment gain as as success criteria. With a special procedure well known from ophthalmology called Fluorescence Angiography we are able to show the healing results direct past surgery and within the first days post OP. So we could optimise the material and handling of the tissue by visualising the blood flow depending on different techniques, suture materials and regenerative materials and procedures.
The application of magnification in periodontal surgery accomplished better results in terms of success and predictability compared to conventional techniques.

The Use of Microscope-Level Magnification (6-8x or greater) as aids in performing Tooth Extractions in Dentistry
The use of Microscope-level magnification (6-8x or greater) combined with head-mounted, co-axial illumination provides a tremendous improvement in a dentist's ability to extract teeth compared to if the dentist used unaided vision and non-coaxial operatory lighting. This presentation describes precisely in what ways high magnification and co-axial lighting provides advantages when extracting teeth. Magnification provides an improved ability to know where to section teeth and remove intra-socket bone, and greatly improves a dentist's ability to determine if elevators that are positioned around tooth particles are contributing to incremental improvements in the luxation of tooth particles. Microscopic differences in how elevators are placed around tooth particle perimeters affect the extent to which a certain way of placing an elevator around a tooth particle is resulting in microscopic incremental improvements in tooth particle luxation. A key concept is that the accumulation of microscopic incremental improvements in tooth particle luxation results in MACROscopic movements of tooth particles. And the key to sensing if microscopic incremental improvements in luxation are occurring is, simply, for a dentist to be able to view the extraction site using microscope-level magnification and head-mounted lighting. The unaided vision dentist cannot sense these microscopic incremental improvements in the magnitude and direction of tooth particle luxation, resulting less efficient use of elevators.

Crown Prep with a Rubber Dam and a Microscope
the perspectives and methods this practitioner approaches crown preperations with, using a dental operating microscope. The information supplied will simply provide a perspective in the approach to allow the attendee to compare and contrast their own approach to accomplish the same or similar task. this presentation will focus on the molar or premolar crown preparation.

Enhance Surgical Decision Making With 3D Diagnostics
Cone beam volumetric tomography shows accurate anatomy and pathology in vivid detail. 3D diagnosis enhances surgical decision-making and treatment planning since the actual structural detail and disease presence can be measured and planned for. This presentation discusses trends in Cone Beam technology, the relationship between resolution and sensor size, and radiation considerations. Cases will show how 3D diagnosis facilitates accurate treatment plans and materials selections for endodontic, perio-endo, periodontal defects, bone grafts, and implant dentistry.
