Guided Endodontics

Guided Endodontics (GE) represents a significant advancement in endodontic therapy particularly for cases involving pulp canal obliteration and apical pathosis. This technique utilizes advanced three-dimensional imaging technologies such as cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and digital surface scanning to facilitate precise planning of access cavities. GE employs either static navigation via templates or dynamic navigation with camera-marker systems. Various research demonstrates that GE enhances the accuracy of access cavity preparation while reducing the risk of iatrogenic damage. Hence a thorough knowledge about this novel technique is essential for better endodontic treatments.
