Real-time dynamic navigation and dental lasers are often hailed as groundbreaking innovations in various fields. Real-time dynamic navigation systems, particularly in non-surgical and surgical procedures provide enhanced precision and safety by continuously adapting to changing conditions. Dental lasers offer precise, minimally invasive treatments that can enhance patient outcomes and reduce recovery times.

But are these technologies truly as transformative as they seem, or are they just advanced iterations of existing tools? This evidence based presentation will delve into the real impact of these innovations, assessing their effectiveness, adoption, and the extent to which they are changing the future non-surgical and microsurgical Endodontics. In this lecture, for the first time, the integration of real-time laser guidance with microsurgical techniques will be presented. Real-time laser guidance represents a significant leap in enhancing precision, safety, and outcomes in endodontic microsurgery.

Learning Objectives:

  • Demonstrate the workflow, and application of real-time dynamic navigation in minimally invasive endodontic procedures as locating calcified canals and microsurgical procedures in close proximity to vital structures.
  • Describe the different laser systems, wave lengths available in laser technologies and its different applications in non-surgical (disinfection of root canal systems) and surgical procedures (surgical incisions, osteotomies, root resection and photo-biomodulation).
  • Demonstrate the integration of real-time laser-guided technology in Endodontic microsurgery.
