abstract ={This study sought to perform a review of the literature on the use of magnification during endodontic
procedures. The literature used in this review was obtained from databases and only articles published after
1999 were considered. The terms “microscopy”, “endodontics”, “magnification” and “loupes” were used.
Each abstract was read to determine whether the information in the article included discussions on the use
of magnification in endodontics (n=18). It was found that microscopes are more advantageous to
endodontics, particularly when root canals need to be located. The benefits provided by magnification
devices improve the success rates of endodontic procedures. The use of these devices is recommended for
all steps of endodontics treatment and retreatment.}
