Tips and TricksHow to keep your microscope in focus (technical term is “Parfocal”)?

1) Set the diopter adjustment on both eye

pieces to “Zero”

2) Focus the microscope at low power

3) Increase the magnification to the highest

power (rotate magnification tumbler on

OPMI® Pico or move toggle switch on

OPMI® PROergo). Now refocus the

microscope if necessary.

4) Return the magnification to the

lowest power

5) Use the dioptre adjustment on each

eye piece to bring the object into sharp

focus – don’t move the microscope up or

down (OPMI® pico) or the focus toggle

switch (OPMI® PROergo)

6) The microscope will now always be in

focus as you change magnification

Day One: Routine Endodontics and Re-treatment Cases

The enhanced magnification and illumination provided by the dental operating microscope can be applied to many clinical situations, ranging from the inspection of crown preparations to endodontic, periodontic and oral surgery procedures. The microscope is particularly useful in endodontics for identifying cracks, finding calcified and additional canals, removing posts and broken instruments and repairing perforations. The first day of this course is designed to develop and enhance those microscopic skills.

The subjects to be covered include:

• Adjusting and par focaling the microscope• Access cavities, canal location, instrumentation and obturation exercises• The role of ultrasonics • Post removal exercises• Broken instrument removal exercises• Dentist, assistant and patient positioning for optimum results• Documentation and patient education

Day Two: Endodontic Microsurgery

This second day of this course will be devoted to all aspects of microsurgical endodontics. The program is a mixture of tutorials and hands-on practical excercises on extracted teeth and specially designed models. All the excercises will be carreid out using the microscope.

The topics to be covered include:

• Patient, dentist and assistant positioning for optimum effectiveness and comfort in the surgical environment • Effective utilisation of the chair side assistants• Diagnosis and case selection• Anesthesia and pain control• Flap design• Management of hard and soft tissues• Microsurgical instrument selection and usage• Ultrasonic root-end preparations• Root end filling techniques• Suturing choices and techniques• Management of post-operative symptoms• Documentation of surgical procedures

During both days of this course a team approach with the dental chair side assistant will be emphasied. Everyone will receive notes, a reading list and technical information about the microscopes. Each participant will have the opportunity to try different brands of microscopes to compare their features. Those who use loupes should bring them to the course. Loupes should be considered the first stage of magnification. If you do not have loupes, an obligation-free trial with one of the companies can be arranged before this course begins.
