Opis

In dentistry, innovation occurs when there is a willingness to investigate and improve both diagnosis and treatment. The concept of Guided endodontics was introduced with the improvements in tomographic imaging and 3D printing technologies. Guided Endodontics applications encompass not only endodontic cavity access and canal location with PO but can also be applied in cases of osteotomy and apicoectomy as well as retrograde fillings, the removal of fiberglass posts, and treating teeth with morphological asymmetries. It is mainly of two types Static and Dynamic. The advantages of SGE are as follows: it is independent of the operator's experience, requires less treatment time for the patient, and is more accurate and safer than conventional endodontics. The benefits of DGE are as follows: it is more ergonomic (in terms of having to look at the monitor during treatment), it allows for the real-time adjustment and repositioning of the working instruments, it is more accurate as it does not accumulate design errors, and it is useful in cases of multi-rooted teeth.
