title: [Use of the stereo-microscope in endodontic surgery].
abstract: The authors present several significant photographs of the apical anatomy of a tooth made using a stereo-microscope in the course of surgery. The authors generally use the stereo-microscope from the time of preparation of the apex to the retrograde filling. One of the changes which the authors have brought to traditional surgical procedures, the use of endodontic cement to improve the amalgam seal is illustrated. It consists of a modification which they introduced into their practice more than six years ago and even though it may be a simple clinical technique to use, it assured a significant long-term improvement in the cases treated.
