For more than 150 years, Carl Zeiss has developed optical systems that make it possible to see things invisible to the naked eye. For more than 50 years, the name Carl Zeiss has been unmistakably linked to achievements in microsurgery. This expertise enables the company to provide innovative visualization solutions in the field of dentistry.

Optical systems from Carl Zeiss make even the most minute details and structures clearly visible, enabling you to enjoy brilliant, high-contrast and true-colour images.

Better vision is the key to better diagnostics and treatment quality.

OPMI pico, OPMI PROergo, EyeMag Loupes
OPMI pico: the world’s first microscope developed specifically for microdentistry.
OPMI pico: more unique innovations than other comparable systems, such as integrated video, MORA interface, integrated Xenon illumination as well as dedicated accessories such as FlexioStill and FlexioMotion.
OPMI PROergo: the world’s first and only fully motorized dental microscope.
OPMI PROergo: the only dental microscope to incorporate ergonomic innovations such as Varioskop, SpeedFokus and Free Float Magnetic Brakes.

Unparalleled clinical experience with magnification
Within one year of apical surgery performed with a microscope, 98.8 percent of the cases were considered healed. The corresponding percentage of healed cases, treated without a microscope, yielded a success rate of only 44.1 percent.[1]
Complete healing rate for the root-end resection and retrograde preparation is significantly higher (91.1 percent) when using microsurgical techniques than that for teeth treated using traditional techniques (44.2 percent).[2]
