Opis

Guided endodontics is an innovative, technology-driven treatment protocol that blends digital impressions, CBCT imaging, specialised planning software, and 3D printing to create highly precise guidance templates for endodontic procedures. This digitally orchestrated workflow enables ultra-accurate, minimally invasive access by directing the bur along a pre-planned path, dramatically reducing the chances of perforation, excessive dentin loss, and other procedural errors. The technique enhances clinical confidence, improves predictability, and significantly streamlines treatment. Guided endodontics proves especially valuable in managing calcified canals, pulp canal obliteration, and anatomically complex teeth. Its scope extends beyond routine root canal therapy into surgical endodontics, where it supports guided apicoectomy, targeted root-end resections, and the precise management of intricate pathologies. It also aids in locating fractures, accessing anomalies like dens invaginatus, and performing conservative retreatments. Overall, guided endodontics represents a transformative leap toward precision-driven, safer, and more efficient endodontic care.
