3D Imaging in Endodontics

Abstract

With the emergence of 3D imaging technology today, it is possible to know the anatomy of the teeth and surrounding structures in detail that allows for more accurate diagnosis and less invasive treatment. Computer-aided static and dynamic navigation techniques have been introduced along with the evolution of imaging in dentistry, which, in turn, means better planning and execution of complex procedures, such as locating and negotiating obliterated canals, fiber post removal, and endodontic microsurgery, in a more predictable and less invasive way.
