Opis

Digital technology is one of the most rapid and extensive evolution in dentistry. Remarkable developments of endodontic technology have been achieved in the last decades. The ultimate result in the digital transformation of endodontics has definitely improved the daily clinical practice of practitioner. Endodontics is the only dental discipline where we cannot see what we are doing. It is based more on our clinical skills and tactile sensation. We must, therefore, rely on different technological methods to assure the predictability and prognosis of endodontic preparation and obturation. This book explores the integration of digital technologies, including Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), digital radiography, and intraoral scanning, in endodontic practice. The advent of these technologies has facilitated superior visualization of root canal systems, enabling more precise diagnosis of complex endodontic conditions and improved treatment outcomes. Additionally, digital tools such as electronic apex locators and 3D modelling software have streamlined root canal instrumentation and enhanced procedural accuracy.
