course “The Microscope in Everyday Dentistry” held on
Friday 7th June 2013.)
This 2-day course is designed for postgraduate endodontic
students, all specialists and general practitioners who wish to
enhance their use of the operating microscope and apply this to
routine endodontic treatment and surgical endodontics. While
delegates may attend one or both days depending on their
particular interests, postgraduate endodontic students must
attend both days to be eligible for an educational grant from the
Australian Society of Endodontology (Inc.).

Day One: Routine Endodontics and Re-treatment Cases
Day Two: Endodontic Microsurgery
The enhanced magnification and illumination provided by the
dental operating microscope can be applied to many clinical
situations, ranging from the inspection of crown preparations
to endodontic, periodontic and oral surgery procedures.
This second day of this course will be devoted to all aspects of
microsurgical endodontics. The program is a mixture of tutorials
and hands-on practical excercises on extracted teeth and specially
designed models. All the excercises will be carreid out using
the microscope.
The microscope is particularly useful in endodontics for
identifying cracks, finding calcified and additional canals,
removing posts and broken instruments and repairing
perforations. The first day of this course is designed to
develop and enhance those microscopic skills.
The subjects to be covered include:
• Adjusting and par focaling the microscope
• Access cavities, canal location, instrumentation
and obturation exercises
• The role of ultrasonics
• Post removal exercises
• Broken instrument removal exercises
• Dentist, assistant and patient positioning for
optimum results
• Documentation and patient education
The topics to be covered include:
• Patient, dentist and assistant positioning for optimum effectiveness and comfort in the surgical environment
• Effective utilisation of the chair side assistants
• Diagnosis and case selection
• Anesthesia and pain control
• Flap design
• Management of hard and soft tissues
• Microsurgical instrument selection and usage
• Ultrasonic root-end preparations
• Root end filling techniques
• Suturing choices and techniques
• Management of post-operative symptoms
• Documentation of surgical procedures
During both days of this course a team approach with the dental chair side assistant will be emphasied. Everyone will receive notes,
a reading list and technical information about the microscopes. Each participant will have the opportunity to try different brands of
microscopes to compare their features.
Those who use loupes should bring them to the course. Loupes should be considered the first stage of magnification. If you do not have
loupes, an obligation-free trial with one of the companies can be arranged before this course begins. Please contact the Continuing
Education office on 02 9351 8348.
Tips and Tricks
How to keep your microscope in focus
(technical term is “Parfocal”)?
1) Set the diopter adjustment on both eye
pieces to “Zero”
2) Focus the microscope at low power
3) Increase the magnification to the highest
power (rotate magnification tumbler on
OPMI® Pico or move toggle switch on
OPMI® PROergo). Now refocus the
microscope if necessary.
4) Return the magnification to the
lowest power
5) Use the dioptre adjustment on each
eye piece to bring the object into sharp
focus – don’t move the microscope up or
down (OPMI® pico) or the focus toggle
switch (OPMI® PROergo)
6) The microscope will now always be in
focus as you change magnification
