What is it?
Microscopic dentistry uses magnification and illumination—often up to high power such as 25x protocols—to improve the clinician's view of fine anatomy. Dr. Prem Kumar R (formerly Associate Professor at Ramaiah; certified in microscopic dentistry) leads microscopic endodontic care at our Attur Main Road / Yelahanka New Town clinic, offering precision-driven endodontic treatment under surgical magnification.
