Guided endodontics with dynamic navigation system: A review

Dynamic as the name suggests is a real-time navigation digital imaging. The innovative concept of Dynamic Navigation has an honest approach to induce a safe and reliable outcome in Minimally Invasive Endodontic procedures. It integrates instrumentation and radiologic images with the help of an optical positioning device controlled by an infatuated computerized interface. These features aids in reducing the prospect of unintentional iatrogenic damage to anatomic structures. In endodontics, it is employed for localization of calcified canals and perform flapless surgery, allows conservative and more accurate access opening, minimally invasive bone trephination for apicoectomy surgery, resulting in reduced patient postoperative discomfort and improved healing. Treatment planning and surgeries may be performed in the same appointment, supported data from patient’s cone-beam computerized axial tomography. This technology can be the foundational pillar of endodontics. Relevant literature published between 2004 and 2021 were collected from Pub Med database, Google scholar, and hand-searched journals of Endodontics and prosthodontics, which helped in writing of this review.
