Summary
3-Step Akiyama Direct View Method with a ZEISS Microscope
Dr. Akiyama presents his perspective on the microscope as an indispensable tool for all dental treatments. He discusses the limitations of traditional indirect viewing techniques, which may impede the adoption of microscopes across various dental procedures. To address these challenges, Dr. Akiyama has developed the “3-step Akiyama Method”, which facilitates a direct view of the microscope for full-mouth examination by consolidating six key positions. He asserts that the positioning possibilities offered by this method will make microscopes more accessible to dental professionals, allowing for effective utilization and enhanced precision in clinical practice.
