Recent advances in surgical technology include the development of magnification systems like loupes and microscopes. Loupes provide 2-10x magnification but have limitations like eye strain. Compound loupes provide better magnification and image quality than simple loupes. Prism loupes provide the best magnification and depth of field. Surgical microscopes allow relaxed viewing with no eye strain, provide the highest magnification, and allow for documentation. Periodontal microsurgery uses microscopes and microinstruments to improve root planing, wound closure, and outcomes like reduced pain and faster healing.
