Dr. Paul Langer has been using the surgical microscope for more than 20 years.  These microscopes provide magnification and fiber optic illumination that is helpful in seeing the tiny details inside your tooth.  This is especially important in calcified teeth, retreatment of previous root canals, visualization of fractures and extra canals, and in endodontic surgery.  Furthermore, a video camera on the operating microscope can record images of your tooth to further document our findings with unequalled clarity and detail.
