Aim: The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the current literature if the prognosis/ clinical outcome of endodontically retreated teeth with the aid of loupes is more effective when treated without loupes.

Materials & Methods: Independent electronic search by 2 investigators yielded 535 titles. Records screened according to the title and selected (n=77). Records after duplicates were removed n=43. Full text articles assessed for eligibility n=34. Full text articles excluded with reasons n=19. Articles in language other than English n=9. Studies included in qualitative synthesis n=6.

Results: Six studies that met the above criteria were selected. These studies showed comparatively higher rate of success with the aid of loupes when compared to retreated teeth without loupes.
