dc.description.abstractObjective This study aimed to evaluate the awareness, usage frequency, and perceptions of dental magnification devices (DMDs) among academic dental practitioners. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted at the Istanbul University Faculty of Dentistry, which targeted academic staff, doctoral candidates, and specialization students. A total of 159 participants completed an 18-item multiple-choice questionnaire. The data were collected via email and QR codes and statistically analyzed via descriptive and inferential methods. Results The results revealed increasing awareness and usage of DMDs, with ergonomic benefits and improved treatment precision being the most commonly cited advantages. Despite these benefits, barriers such as cost and concerns over device dependency have limited broader adoption. The participants indicated that magnification was particularly valuable in endodontics and restorative procedures. Conclusion The findings emphasize the growing recognition of DMDs in academic dental practice and highlight the need to incorporate magnification training into dental education curricula to enhance clinical skills and ergonomic awareness from an early stage.
