The application of magnification devices in endodontics is mainly meant for visual enhancement and improved ergonomics. This is crucial especially when long hours are spent in a narrow operating space to treat obscure microanatomy. Nevertheless, application of magnification in endodontics has yet to be introduced into the mainstream practice due to various influences in behavioral patterns. By conducting an extensive literature search in the PubMed database, this narrative review paper depicts the present state of magnification devices, their applications within the endodontic practice, factors that influence their usage, the advantages, and shortcomings, as well as the significances of magnification in the field of endodontics. This review paper will encourage clinicians to employ magnification in their practice for improved outcome.
放大设备在牙髓病学中的应用主要是为了增强视觉效果和改善人体工程学。这一点至关重要，尤其是当需要在狭窄的操作空间内长时间处理隐匿的微观解剖结构时。然而，由于行为模式的各种影响，牙髓病学中放大设备的应用尚未被引入主流实践。通过在PubMed数据库中进行广泛的文献检索，这篇叙述性综述文章描述了放大设备的现状、它们在牙髓病治疗实践中的应用、影响其使用的因素、优点和缺点，以及放大在牙髓病学领域的意义。这篇综述文章将鼓励临床医生在实践中使用放大设备以改善治疗效果。
