Assessment of Clinical Outcomes

(TC08) Digital Workflow in Endodontics

Thursday, April 3, 2025
1:00 PM – 4:00 PM EST




The field of digital endodontics aims to improve the overall outcome of endodontic treatments through the incorporation of advanced imaging technologies. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) enhances precision in detecting intricate anatomical root morphology. When such images are combined with computer-aided design (CAD) and three dimensional (3D) printing, it enables the development of potential strategies for addressing challenging cases, such as navigating teeth with pulp canal obliteration (PCO) and removal of glass fiber posts with minimal risks. Incorporating a 3D-printed static guide and dynamic navigation during endodontic treatment allows for an approach that is more efficient, accurate, and minimally invasive by strategically avoiding unnecessary removal of sound tooth structure. 3D-printed static guides can also potentially serve a major role in aesthetic cases by ensuring accurate access to the pulp chamber while minimizing damage to surrounding tooth structure. Through the highlighted clinical cases presented in our table clinic, we will explore a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for static 3D-printed guides in effort to facilitate its employment in creating endodontic access based on a precise preoperative digital plan. The highlighted approach emphasizes precision and aligns with modern endodontic philosophy, prioritizing the preservation of sound tooth structure during treatment. In conclusion, the integration of 3D-guided endodontic access represents a transformative advancement in the specialty by utilizing cutting-edge technologies to improve diagnostic accuracy, treatment planning, and overall procedural outcomes.This technological advancement reflects a commitment to improve patient-centric care while refining endodontic practices in alignment with contemporary philosophies.
