Use of dental mirror in microsurgical practice.
In this article, we introduce the use of dental mirror during microsurgery. We have been using no. 4 dental mirror during microvascular anastomoses and nerve coaptations for the last 6 months successfully and found that, as a cheap and easily obtainable instrument, it has facilitated our practice. We are strongly recommending the use of dental mirrors in microsurgical practice and inclusion to every microsurgery instrument set.
