Guided Endodontics

By Dakshita Joy Sinha, Anu Dhawan, Anisha Deb

Guided endodontics is a modern approach revolutionizing root canal therapy. Utilizing advanced technology like cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and computer-aided design (CAD), it offers precise and predictable treatment outcomes. The process begins with CBCT imaging to create a 3D model of the tooth and surrounding structures. This model is then used to plan the root canal procedure with CAD software, allowing for precise determination of canal length, curvature, and accessory canals. During the procedure, the dentist follows a guide that directs instruments to navigate the root canals accurately, reducing the risk of complications and improving treatment efficiency. Guided endodontics enhances the success rate of root canal therapy by ensuring thorough cleaning, shaping, and sealing of the root canal system. It also minimizes patient discomfort and chair time, making it a preferred option for both patients and practitioners seeking optimal outcomes in endodontic treatment.
