In the mid-1990’s, the incorporation of dental microscopes into treatment began to increase as clinicians took notice of  higher magnification levels and greater illumination that are not possible with dental loupes. Around this time, the AAE (American Association of Endodontists) began strongly advocating for the use of a microscope in dental practices as well as during doctoral study. Our founders – with a long and distinguished history of serving the Otolaryngology market – built on our manufacturing strengths in medical equipment and became the first company to focus on the newly emerging dental microscopy market.

One of the leading reasons doctors add a dental microscope to their practice is for enhanced visibility, giving greater accuracy and precision during diagnosis and treatment planning. Being able to see the finer details of anatomy such as cracks, caries and canals can be the difference between detection/prevention and a small issue becoming a much larger problem for your patient down the road.. 

As a dental practice owner, you’re likely confronted with new investment opportunities on a regular basis. Dental technologies, in particular, have the potential to make major improvements in your patient care, such as the type and/or volume of procedures you can provide. Many of these technologies, such as dental cone beam/CBCT, are significant investments for your practice but frequently deliver on their promise for positive return on investment (ROI). If you’re considering making an investment in a new technology for your practice, you’ll likely want to research and think about the financial, workflow, training, and any additional factors that will influence your decision.

Today, dental professionals across the world are more concerned than ever about keeping their equipment clean and sanitized. This is especially top of mind between patient exams, but also necessary between work days for routine sanitization of clinical contact surfaces and other components to reduce health risks.

Dental professionals are consistently investing in technologies that positively impact their ability to effectively care for their patients. From imaging systems to surgical microscopes, these new tools are often significant investments for a practice and are counted on to provide years of dependable service. Proper maintenance is a critical component to ensuring that any technology provides a solid return on investment and maximizes its value.
