Several technologies have been introduced to the endodontic specialty in the past few years. Among these technologies are CBCT, dental lasers, AI softwares and dynamic navigation. CBCT has become the scaffold for other technologies. Importing CBCT dicom files into e-VOLDx atrifical intelegence (AI) software and dynamic navigation systems have added a new dimension to diagnosis and treatment. The incoportion of CBCT technology and a new imaging software e-VOLDX has provided clinicians with 300 times higher resolution and the ability to visualize dental structures clinicians were not able to visualize in the past. Structures as the dental pulp, nerve bundles and maxillary sinus membranes are few of these examples. Dynamic navigation software allows the clinician to visualize dental procedure on a monitor in real time while performing challenging non-surgical and surgical procedures. Another technology are dental lasers which are utilized in non-surgical (acoustic streaming disinfection of root canal systems) and surgical procedures (laser guided surgical incision, soft tissue management in invasive cervical resorption and photo-biomodulation to accelerate wound healing).
This presentation will focus on how the incoportion of these technologies can be utilized in non-surgical and surgical challenging endodontic procedures. Based on the information provided, changes in treatment protocols and armamentarium will be presented.

Learning Objectives:

  • Import CBCT dicom images into e-VOLDX AI software in the following cases: Diagnosis of pain, cracked teeth, vertical root fracture and resorptive defects.
  • Apply dental lasers in non-surgical (acoustic streaming disinfection of root canal systems) and surgical procedures (laser guided surgical incision, soft tissue management in invasive cervical resorption and photo-biomodulation to accelerate wound healing).
  • Apply the dynamic navigation with Scopeye display in minimally invasive endodontic procedures as locating calcified canals and surgical cases in close proximity to vital structures.
