The dental-operating microscope and its slow acceptance

Howard S Selden. J Endod. 2002 Mar.

Abstract

This article presents a review of the history of the dental-operating microscope and how it experienced slow acceptance. Following its introduction in 1982, it wasn't until 1997 that microscopy training became manditory for Advanced Specialty Education Programs in Endodontics. Undoubtedly, microscopic enhanced endodontics ultimately reshaped clinical practice and created a potential for a higher standard of care.
