Abstract

The microscope has been one of the oldest yet most exquisite inventions in human history. The lenses changed the future of medical science and its abstraction forever. Previously, humans never know much about the source of disease, but today we know that the universe of microbes is vaster and more limitless than it ever was. However, the microscope is not just limited to laboratory in vitro research and study; it has remodeled dentistry more today than ever. This article describes the various types of microscopes used in periodontics, endodontics, and oral pathology in dentistry.
