Loupes for oral surgery?

[pleaseomfs]

Hi,

I am currently working as a general dentist and will be applying for oral surgery this year. My loupes broke, and I need to purchase a new pair. Since I am still practicing as a general dentist and considering the possibility that I may not match, I want to buy loupes that will be versatile for both my current practice and potential future needs.

I was looking into Ergo loupes, but I’m concerned that they might not be suitable for use in oral surgery.

I’d appreciate any input you may have.

Thank you!

I use ergo for extractions. Someone posted on these forums they do orthognathic surgery through ergo loupes!

Also interested in hearing people's experiences with ergo loupes for OMFS. Which brand/magnification is good to get?

Not sure of brand but my 2 cents is to get lowest possible magnification which i understand is 3x as the field of vision overall is limited.
Unless you want to only do nerve repairs 🙂
