• Endodontics with a Microscope
  Perhaps of the branches of dentistry that deals with specializations, endodontics is one of the more complicated, requiring the use of operating instruments such as the dental microscope and even digital imaging in the diagnosing and detecting of teeth disorders related to endodontics.
