Endodontists have often bragged they can accomplish a lot of their work blindfolded basically in light of the fact that there "isn't anything to see." The reality of the situation is that there is an incredible arrangement Over the most recent fifteen years for both non-careful and careful endodontics, there has been a blast of new innovations, new instruments and new materials(1). These advancements have improved the accuracy with which endodontics can be performed. Materials and method: Self administered questionnaire of close-ended questions was prepared and it was distributed among dental students from February to April 2021 through the online survey “google forms”. The collected data were checked regularly for clarity, competence, consistency, accuracy and validity. Demographic details were also included in the questionnaire. Results: 63% of the population were aware of the usage of microscopy in endodontics,whereas the remaining 37% of the population were not aware of usage of microscopy in endodontics, suggesting that the majority of the population were aware of the usage of microscope in endodontics. 2ndyear students strongly say that they use a dental operating microscope in their practice, however, it is statistically significant(p value =0.000(<0.05)).
