Online published on 7 December, 2011. Abstract With the introduction of microsurgical principles in endodontics, involving new techniques for root canal treatment, there has been a continuous search for enhancing the visualization of the surgical field. Therefore in recent times, there has been an increase in the use of magnification devices in dentistry particularly, the dental loupes. A loupe is a simple hand held magnification device used to see small details more closely and works on basic optical principles. Using dental loupes not only improves ergonomics but also improves the working distance. The regular use of loupes in dental practice will definitely increase diagnostic and clinical ability of the operator many folds thus providing better care to the patients.
