RESUMO
Aim: In this systematic review, we assessed whether the effects of the usage of various devices help with magnification in endodontics and whether they resulted in any significant changes in the clinical result of treatment. Materials and Methods: An exhaustive search was performed across MEDLINE and Cochrane Registers for various clinical studies, which were focused on comparing regenerative endodontic treatment based on the usage of magnification devices. Various terms were used to search these clinical trials such as microscope, regenerative endodontic surgery, apicoectomy, endoscope, and loupes. Results: After scrutinizing the studies, around three clinical trials based on magnification in endodontic surgeries were included in the present review. It was observed that no statistically noteworthy betterment of treatment outcome was seen in patients treated with either of the magnification devices such as loupes and microscope. Conclusion: It was evident that these magnification devices can alter the effectiveness of regenerative endodontic treatment in a very minimal way. However, we believe that more randomized clinical studies should be conducted in this area.
