Clinical evaluation of restoration margins by an endoscopic microscope.
A method is presented for high magnification, clinical examination and recording of the marginal fit of dental restorations. An endoscopic microscope used in conjunction with video recording facilities affords acceptable colour records of restorative procedures for monitoring purposes. The suggestion is made that the concept of 'fit' in the clinical context has not been adequately addressed. The technique described has other clinical and research implications.
