Having the Right Dental Loupes Will Guarantee Proper Diagnosis and Treatment
Selecting dental loupes requires the careful consideration of several important features which determine at what level these instruments will perform for dentists and their patients. Bigger is not necessarily the best option when trying to view the tiny areas of a patient's mouth. If the area is magnified too much, resolution is lost and distortion can lead to an incorrect diagnosis and treatment. Since many people are apprehensive about going to the dentist, getting it right the first time is preferred. Good resolution delivers peak visualization and performance.
Good field width is also a necessary feature for good dental loupes. The dentist needs to be able to adjust his or her vision through the naked eye with ease to see clearly through the loupes. A good range of focus will prevent eye fatigue as a result of the adjustment. The field width is determined by the diameter that is on the loupe. The optical design and the high magnifying power combined will reduce the size of the field. While this is important, the synergy between the resolution and field width have greater value.
Different dental loupes are identified based on the resolution and field width which are grouped into four distinct classes. Commonly identified based on power magnification, the price of each varies, along with the different features. The Class I is a single lens loupe, and the least expensive. Class II has a power magnification between 2.0 and 2.9. The power magnification for a Class II is between 3.0 and 3.9. And finally, the Class IV is between a 4.0 and 4.9 power magnification.
An example of Class II loupe is the Flip-up Dental Surgical Loupes, which costs around $199.99 and has a 2.5x magnification. This dental loupe features a 5-way field width adjustment with a large filed view. This is an excellent choice for the dentist who wears prescription glasses and provides good binocular focus. It comes with a one year warranty and comes with accessories: alloy frame with a safety strap, cleaning cloth and a screw driver in order to adjust the tension.
Enhanced vision with dental loupes will guarantee not only early diagnosis of oral health problems, but these will also lead to improved treatment for the patient.
