Magnification: what is available, and will it aid your clinical practice?
Abstract
With the development of clinical techniques that require high levels of manual dexterity and involve fine detail, there is increasing interest in the use of magnification for dental procedures. This article considers the potential benefits of magnification, the different methods by which it can be obtained and, finally, presents some caveats to its use.
