Do magnification loupes affect the precision of cavity preparations made by undergraduates? A randomized crossover study

Evidence on the effect of magnification devices on procedure quality in restorative dentistry is scant. This study therefore aimed to assess, under simulated clinical conditions, if magnification loupes affect the quality of preparations carried out by undergraduate dental students. 59 undergraduate...

Zusammenfassung:	Evidence on the effect of magnification devices on procedure quality in restorative dentistry is scant. This study therefore aimed to assess, under simulated clinical conditions, if magnification loupes affect the quality of preparations carried out by undergraduate dental students. 59 undergraduate dental students underwent two visual acuity tests, based on which they were divided into a "low visual acuity group" (visus
