title: Magnification and the alternatives for microdentistry.
abstract: The evolution of microdental treatments has necessitated that dentists improve the visual acuity of the operating field in an effort to diagnose disease earlier and to treat those areas with greater precision. Alternatives in magnification exist for all practitioners from introductory magnification systems, such as single-lens loupes, to high-powered dental operating microscopes. An opportunity exists for every practitioner to enhance their vision through magnification and illumination.
