An Operating Microscope with Higher Magnification and Higher Resolution for Cerebral Aneurysm Surgery: Preliminary Experience—Technical Note

We describe a higher magnifying power operating microscope system to improve one method of high-quality microsurgical clipping for cerebral aneurysm in some cases. This higher magnification is achieved by a new lens design in the optical system, which makes the image of the object very clear at high magnifications (distinctiveness of 7 μm). This higher-resolution operating microscope system provides the surgeon with higher-magnified images (at the maximum of more than 30× magnifications as each working distance) in the operating field. The magnifications can be changed from low power (2.9×) to high power (62.0×) depending on the circumstances in a given procedure. We have used this operating microscope system on 11 patients with microsurgical clipping for cerebral aneurysms. Microsurgical treatment could be performed safely and precisely. All aneurysms were treated without any technical complications. We think that the use of this microscope would have potential benefits for microsurgical treatment for cerebral aneurysms because of better visualization.     

Influence of Apical Root Resection on the Biomechanical Response of a Single-rooted Tooth: A 3-dimensional Finite Element Analysis

Introduction

Apical root resection is a biologically essential component in endodontic microsurgery. However, because it reduces the total root length and supported root surface, it changes the biomechanical response of the tooth. The purpose of this study was to analyze the biomechanical effect of apical root resection and to compare apical root resection with periodontal bone loss from a biomechanical standpoint.

Methods

Finite element models of the maxillary central incisor were reconstructed. First, preoperative and surgically treated models were generated to assess the factors altering the biomechanical response of the tooth. Then, apically resected models with different amounts of resection (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 mm) were created to estimate the clinically applicable limit of apical root resection. Periodontally destructed models with varying degrees of bone loss (0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, and 3 mm) were also created to compare the effect of apical root resection with periodontal bone loss. Stress distribution, tooth displacement, and effective crown-to-root ratio (α) were analyzed for each condition.

Results

Apical root resection did not significantly alter the maximum von Mises stress or tooth displacement until it reached 6 mm (α = 0.67) when the tooth was supported by normal periodontium. In contrast, periodontal bone loss had a greater impact on biomechanical response change compared with apical root resection.

Conclusions

For a tooth supported by normal periodontium, 3 mm of apical root resection (α = 1.07) appeared to be mechanically acceptable. The biomechanical influence of apical root resection was weak compared with that of periodontal bone loss.
