Guided Endodontics

This superbly illustratedbookprovides a comprehensive overview of guided endodontics, a technology-driven, contemporary treatment approach that represents a paradigm shift in endodontics.Guided endodontics is now theproven,safe, predictableand, clinically,the most effectivemethod for management of calcified root canals and root-end resection surgeries. This book covers detailed step-by-step digitaltreatment planningand the clinical application of static guides and dynamic navigation systemsfor,both, surgical andnon-surgical endodontictreatment. In essence, this novel technology utilizes preoperative CBCT scans and intra-oral 3D scans as well as uniquely developedspecial software, for virtual planning of the endodontic treatment. This book delineates 3D printing, CBCT, digital impression systems,static guide designing with different software and clinical application of static and dynamic navigation in endodontics and much more. The concluding chapter addresses the future trends in 3D guidance in endodontics, in particular,and dentistry in general.
