Abstract
Dynamic navigation (DN) is a promising technology designed to guide the placement of drills/implants in real time, based on information generated from the patient’s cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). In endodontics, dynamic navigation is used for localization of calcified canals as well root-end resection surgeries. Treatment planning and surgery can be performed in the same appointment, based on data from patient’s cone-beam computed tomography. This technology allows safe, minimal invasive and predictable access opening, osteotomy as well as root-end resection.
