La Rosa GRM, Peditto M, Venticinque A, Marcianò A, Bianchi A, Pedullà E. Advancements in guided surgical endodontics: A scoping review of case report and case series and research implications. AUST ENDOD J 2024. [PMID: 38887152 DOI: 10.1111/aej.12865] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2024] [Revised: 05/15/2024] [Accepted: 06/08/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024]
Abstract
This scoping review examined current case series and reports on guided surgical endodontic applications in order to provide a critical platform for future research. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) extension for scoping reviews guidelines were followed. A search on PubMed and Scopus yielded 611 articles, with 17 case reports and 1 series meeting inclusion criteria. Overall, guided surgery addressed anatomical complexities, with 15 articles employing static protocols and 3 dynamic. Results showed minimal iatrogenic errors and reduced chair time, with no postoperative issues reported. Within the cases described, guided endodontic surgery exhibited satisfactory results in management of anatomical complex cases. Cost-effectiveness, the need for adequate follow-up, procedure's reproducibility and accuracy, and objective measurement of the reduction in operative times and iatrogenic errors are some of the limitations in the current reports that need to be considered for planning of future experimental and cohort studies.

J Dent Sci 2024; 19:837-845. [PMID: 38618133 PMCID: PMC11010716 DOI: 10.1016/j.jds.2023.08.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2023] [Revised: 08/29/2023] [Indexed: 04/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Background/purpose Apical root resection pattern affects the stress distribution behavior in the apical region of the resected tooth. The purpose of the study was to compare the biomechanical responses of resected teeth between endodontic microsurgery (horizontal resection) and targeted endodontic microsurgery (round resection). Materials and methods Five different models were developed. The basic model without resection (NR) was regarded as the control model, and the others involved: horizontal resection without bone grafting (HN), horizontal resection with bone grafting (HG), round resection without bone grafting (RN), and round resection with bone grafting (RG) models. A static load of 100 N was applied to the buccal and palatal cusps of all the teeth in a 30° oblique direction. The maximum von-Mises stress and tooth displacement values were analyzed and compared. Results Both the HN and RN models exhibited lower stress distribution values on bone compared with the NR (control) model. Regarding maximum stress distribution at the root apex, the stress value of the RN model was slightly higher compared to the HN model, whereas the RG model displayed a slightly lower stress value in comparison with the HG model. For maximum tooth displacement value, there were no significant differences between the HN and RN models, as well as the HG and RG models. Conclusion The round resection pattern had comparable stress distribution behaviors at the root apex and tooth displacement values with the horizontal resection pattern. Targeted endodontic microsurgery might provide better biomechanical response of the resected tooth after root-end resection.

Abstract
Digital guided therapy (DGT) has been advocated as a contemporary computer-aided technique for treating endodontic diseases in recent decades. The concept of DGT for endodontic diseases is categorized into static guided endodontics (SGE), necessitating a meticulously designed template, and dynamic guided endodontics (DGE), which utilizes an optical triangulation tracking system. Based on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images superimposed with or without oral scan (OS) data, a virtual template is crafted through software and subsequently translated into a 3-dimensional (3D) printing for SGE, while the system guides the drilling path with a real-time navigation in DGE. DGT was reported to resolve a series of challenging endodontic cases, including teeth with pulp obliteration, teeth with anatomical abnormalities, teeth requiring retreatment, posterior teeth needing endodontic microsurgery, and tooth autotransplantation. Case reports and basic researches all demonstrate that DGT stand as a precise, time-saving, and minimally invasive approach in contrast to conventional freehand method. This expert consensus mainly introduces the case selection, general workflow, evaluation, and impact factor of DGT, which could provide an alternative working strategy in endodontic treatment.

Braz Dent J 2023; 34:40-49. [PMID: 38133091 PMCID: PMC10742355 DOI: 10.1590/0103-6440202305661] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2023] [Accepted: 11/22/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
This study evaluated a method to determine the spatial geometry of root canal preparation (RCP) using navigation dynamics and a specific algorithm from a new CBCT software (e-Vol DX). CBCT scans of 168 root canals of mandibular molars were acquired before and after RCP, using nickel-titanium (NiTi) instruments (ProTaper Next, BioRace, Reciproc Blue, and WaveOne Gold). The spatial geometry of the root canals and the operative risk of disproportional wear of dentinal walls after RCP were evaluated using a new CBCT software. A 3-point scoring system was used after the measuring of cementum/dentin thickness before and after RCP in all root thirds. The root thirds were distributed into three parts of similar sizes, and the scores were categorized at three levels: 1. mild risk (1/3), 2. moderate risk (2/3), 3. severe risk (3/3). These levels were proposed according to the risk of creating disproportionate shapes, thin walls, or perforations. The data were analyzed statistically by Fischer's exact test (α = 5%). There were no significant differences in operative risk among the NiTi engine-driven systems, for the distal or mesial walls of all the root canal thirds (p>0.05). The spatial geometry method to assess operative risk allows clinical planning for a predictable enlargement of the root canal in all root thirds. Based on using a map-reading strategy on root canals in CBCT scans, NiTi engine-driven instruments did not present an increased operative risk during RCPs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study was aimed at evaluating the clinical and radiological outcomes of novel dynamic navigation (DN)-aided endodontic microsurgery (EMS), with an analysis of potential prognostic factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-six teeth from 32 patients who received DN-aided EMS were included. Clinical and radiographic assessments were performed at least 1 year postoperatively. Two calibrated endodontists assessed radiological outcomes according to two-dimensional (2D) periapical radiography (PA) and three-dimensional (3D) cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging using Rud's and Molven's criteria and modified PENN 3D criteria, respectively. Fisher's exact test was used for statistical analysis of the predisposing factors. RESULTS Of the 32 patients with 46 treated teeth, 28 with 40 teeth were available for follow-up. Of the 28 patients, four (five teeth) refused to undergo CBCT and only underwent clinical and PA examinations, and the remaining 24 (35 teeth) underwent clinical, PA, and CBCT examinations. Combined clinical and radiographic data revealed a 95% (38/40) success rate in 2D healing evaluations and a 94.3% (33/35) success rate in 3D healing evaluations. No significant effect was found in sex, age, tooth type, arch type, preoperative lesion volume, preoperative maximum lesion size, presence/absence of crown and post, and the root canal filling state on the outcome of DN-aided EMS. CONCLUSIONS DN-aided EMS has a favorable prognosis and could be considered an effective and reliable treatment strategy. Further investigations with larger sample sizes are required to confirm these results. CLINICAL RELEVANCE DN-aided EMS could be considered an effective and reliable treatment strategy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study compared the accuracy and efficiency of fully guided static and dynamic computer-assisted surgical navigation techniques for osteotomy and root-end resection (RER). METHODS Fifty roots from cadaver heads were divided into two groups: fully guided static computer-assisted endodontic microsurgery (FG sCAEMS) and dynamic computer-assisted endodontic microsurgery (dCAEMS) (all, n = 25). CBCT scans were taken pre- and postoperatively. The osteotomy and RER were planned virtually in the preoperative CBCT scan and guided using 3D-printed surgical guides in the FG sCAEMS and 3D-dynamic navigation system in the dCAEMS. The 2D and 3D deviations and angular deflection (AD) were calculated. The osteotomy volume, resected root length, and resection angle were measured. The osteotomy and RER time and the number of procedural mishaps were recorded. RESULTS FG sCAEMS was as accurate as dCAEMS, with no difference in the 2D and 3D deviation values or AD (p >.05). The osteotomy and RER time were shortened using FG sCAEMS (p <.05). The FG sCAEMS showed a greater number of incomplete RERs than dCAEMS. Osteotomy volume, RER angle, and root length resected were similar in both groups (p >.05). FG sCAEMS and dCAEMS were feasible for osteotomy and RER. CONCLUSIONS Within the limitations of this cadaver-based study, FG sCAEMS was as accurate as dCAEMS. Both FG sCAEMS and dCAEMS were time-efficient for osteotomy and RER, but FG sCAEMS required less surgical time.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the accuracy of a dynamic navigation system (DNS) for guided osteotomy and root-end resection during endodontic microsurgery (EMS) and assess its prognosis. METHODS Nine patients who met inclusion criteria underwent DNS-guided EMS. Osteotomy and root-end resection were performed with assistance of DNS (DHC-ENDO1, DCARER Medical Technology, Suzhou, China). The preoperative virtually planned path and postoperative cone-beam computed tomography images were superimposed using DNS software. Accuracy was assessed based on deviations in the platform, apex, and angle of the osteotomy, as well as in the length and angle of the root-end resection. Follow-up evaluations were performed after at least a year postoperatively. RESULTS Among the nine patients (11 teeth with 12 roots), the mean platform, apex, and angular deviation of the osteotomy were 1.05 mm, 1.2 mm, and 6.24°, respectively. The mean length and angle deviation of the root-end resection were 0.46 mm and 4.9°, respectively. Significant differences were observed according to tooth position. The platform and apex deviated significantly less in the posterior than in the anterior teeth (p < .05). No significant differences were observed according to arch type, side, and depth of the surgical path (p > .05). Eight patients were evaluated after at least a year postoperatively; clinical and radiographic evaluation revealed a 90% success rate (9/10 teeth). CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated high accuracy of DNS in EMS. Furthermore, DNS-guided EMS had a success rate similar to that of freehand EMS over a short-term follow-up. Further study with a larger sample size is necessary. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The present novel DNS technology is a viable method for guided osteotomy and root-end resection in EMS.

Medicina (B Aires) 2023; 59:medicina59040678. [PMID: 37109636 PMCID: PMC10145231 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59040678] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2023] [Revised: 03/08/2023] [Accepted: 03/21/2023] [Indexed: 04/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Background and objectives: Endodontic surgery has evolved over the last two decades. The use of state-of-the-art guided endodontic surgical procedures produces a predictable outcome in the healing of lesions of endodontic origin. The main objective of this review paper is to define and characterize guided surgical endodontics as well as its benefits and drawbacks by reviewing the most recent relevant scientific literature. Methods: A literature search was conducted using multiple databases comprising of MEDLINE (via PubMed), EMBASE, and Web of Science. The terms used for the search were ‘guided endodontics’, ‘surgical endodontics’, and ‘endodontic microsurgery’. Results: In total, 1152 articles were obtained from the analysis of the databases. Unrelated articles from the available full text of 388 articles were excluded. A total of 45 studies were finally included in the review. Conclusions: Surgical-guided endodontics is a relatively new area of study that is still maturing. It has many applications such as root canal access and localization, microsurgical endodontics, endodontic retreatment, and glass fiber post removal. Additionally, it does not matter how experienced the operator is; the procedure can be completed for the patient in less time and provides greater accuracy and safety than conventional endodontics.

Comparison of a Novel Static Computer-aided Surgical and Freehand Techniques for Osteotomy and Root-end Resection. J Endod 2023; 49:528-535.e1. [PMID: 36828284 DOI: 10.1016/j.joen.2023.02.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2022] [Revised: 01/26/2023] [Accepted: 02/15/2023] [Indexed: 02/24/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study compared the accuracy and efficiency of a novel static computer-aided surgical technique using a 3-dimensional (3D)-printed surgical guide (3D-SG) with a fully guided drill protocol (3D-SG FG) to the freehand (FH) osteotomy and root-end resection (RER). METHODS Forty-six roots from 2 cadaver heads were divided into 2 groups: 3D-SG FG (n = 23) and FH (n = 23). Cone-beam computed tomographic scans were taken preoperatively and postoperatively. The endodontic microsurgery was planned in Blue Sky Bio software, and the 3D-SG was designed and 3D printed. The osteotomy and RER were conducted using a guided twist drill diameter of 2 mm and an ascending tapered drill with diameters of 2.8/3.2, 3.2/3.6, 3.8/4.2, and 4.2 mm with respective guided drill guides. Two-dimensional and three-dimensional virtual deviations and angular deflection were calculated. Linear osteotomy measures and root resection angle were obtained. The osteotomy and RER time and the number of mishaps were recorded. RESULTS Two-dimensional and three-dimensional accuracy deviations and angular deflection were lower in the 3D-SG FG protocol than in the FH technique (P < .05). The height, length, and depth of the osteotomy and root resection angle were less in the 3D-SG FG protocol than in the FH technique (P < .05). The osteotomy and RER time with the 3D-SG FG protocol were less than the FH method (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS Within the limitations of this cadaver-based study using denuded maxillary and mandibular jaws, 3D-SG FG protocol showed higher accuracy than FH osteotomy and RER. Moreover, the 3D-SG FG drill protocol significantly reduced the surgical time.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:13900. [PMID: 36360780 PMCID: PMC9657991 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph192113900] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2022] [Revised: 10/18/2022] [Accepted: 10/22/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
The main objective of this paper is to perform an updated literature review of guided endodontics based on the available up-to-date scientific literature to identify and describe the technique, its benefits, and its limitations. Four electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, and Web of Science) were used to perform a literature search from 1 January 2017 to 13 May 2022. After discarding duplicates, out of 1047 results, a total of 29 articles were eligible for review. Guided endodontics is a novel technique that is currently evolving. It is applied in multiple treatments, especially in accessing and locating root canals in teeth with pulp canal obliteration, microsurgical endodontics, and removing glass fiber posts in endodontic retreatments. In addition, it is independent of an operator's experience, requires less treatment time for the patient, and is more accurate and safer than conventional endodontics.

Abstract
Extended Reality Smart Glasses is a new pattern that uses extended reality technology to present a visual environment that combines the physical and virtual worlds. However, the surgical technique using Smart Glasses implementation is still unknown, to the infancy in clinical surgery, derived to the limits of existing technology. This study researched the acceptability and possibility of XRSG for medical experts. It combines human seen behavioral control with information technology research to construct a new “Extended Reality Technology Behavior Model” using method Technology Acceptance Model and Theory of Planned Behavior. To improve the accuracy of the study, statistical analysis, exploratory analysis, and cross-sectional research triangulation were used to collect data in five hospitals in Malaysia using a convenience sampling method and a questionnaire on behavioral influences. From the collected data, PLS-SEM analysis was used to reflect the relationship between variables. The strong positive results suggest that using XRSG by medical experts helps to improve the composition, interactivity, standardization, and clarity of medical images, resulting in increased efficiency and reduced procedure time and felt the usefulness and ease of use of XRSG through their behavior, providing a basis for technology acceptance in surgery.

J Endod 2022; 48:797-806.e2.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Treatment of a failing endodontic procedure via microsurgical revision presents better outcomes due, in part, to the integration of the Surgical Operating Microscope (SOM) and CBCT into clinical practice. But challenges still remain with respect to the operational locations and the techniques required to address them. Posterior sites, with substantial cortical plate thicknesses and sensitive anatomy, present the dichotomy of visualization versus post-surgical regeneration of bone. The bony lid technique bridges the gap between these two concepts, and the application of Piezosurgery renders a precise and biocompatible osseous incision. The purpose of this paper is to outline, through Case reports, the progression of Piezo-Guided surgery in a resident setting. METHODS The first two evolutions of the technique utilized a surgeon-defined method for site location. This third and final evolution utilizes a digital workflow to virtually plan the surgical procedure, integrating STL and DICOM files to create 3-dimensional guides with exacting resection locations, levels, and angles. Export of the virtually planned guide in post-production generates the Precision Endodontic Surgical Stent (PRESS) to accurately define the site location and parameters of the procedure. All surgeries were executed using the Piezosurgical method with increasing levels of guidance and precision throughout the evolution process. RESULTS Each step in the technique implementation enabled the resident to assimilate a new technique and skill set while maintaining bone architecture and minimizing volume loss post-operatively. The patient benefits were an increase in intra-operative safety and post-operative comfort. The resident benefits were accelerated regeneration timetables, increase in the confidence level of the resident and number of scheduled posterior surgical procedures. CONCLUSIONS The progression from crude on-site measurements to elegant and precise surgical guides enabled the access and manipulations of difficult surgical sites without compromising visibility, post-operative osseous regeneration, or patient comfort.

Abstract
This study describes a methodology to identify accessory root canals using the e-Vol DX software in CBCT scans. Accessory root canals are strategic shelters for microorganisms present in root canal infections. The identification of these small canals in periapical radiographic exams has limitations, besides being markedly limited accessibility to the action of endodontic instruments and to the antimicrobial agents. A significant number of accessory canals have sufficient diameters to be visible on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of high spatial resolution. Therefore, it may go unnoticed or even confused when there is no specific training for this type of diagnosis. The methodology consists in establishing thin slices (0.1mm or smaller) obtained from coronal, sagittal and axial slices. The method consists of the following steps: during navigation along the long axis of a root canal when finding a possible hypodense line of main root canal in a tomographic section (axial, sagittal or coronal), the navigation software lines of the multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) must be adjusted so that they are parallel and perpendicular to the hypodense line (parallax correction). Then, after judiciously adjusted, the accessory canal image will invariably appear as a line on one of the MPR tomographic slices, another line on another slice, and a dot on the third slice. The three sections of the MPR present images with the "line-line-dot" sequence. In this way, it is possible to identify an accessory root canal and also visualize it in volumetric reconstruction in a specific filter. The application of this method is easy to employed and may benefit the diagnosis when you want to visualize accessory root canals and distinguish it from root fracture line.

Abstract
The aim of this review is to discuss the digital planning and the use of guided technology in Endodontics. The complexity of the root canals anatomy and the challenges in the microorganism's control represent risk factors for failure after the infected root canal's treatment. Scientific improvements associated with technological advances have enabled better predictability of therapeutic procedures results. The development of efficient and modern devices provided safer root canal treatments, with shorter clinical visits and greater patient comfort. Digital endodontics incorporated different tools and developed its own, advancing even further in resolving complex cases. The faithful copy of the internal anatomy provided by the advancement of CBCT devices and software's, associated with the digital resources of 3D planning and printing, enabled the advent of guided endodontics. This technique is used at different stages of endodontic treatment, with specific indications and greater result predictability. Therefore, this study critically reviewed the potential clinical application of this guided access technique, and the operative steps for its safe performance in managing complex endodontic cases. The main indications are accessing calcified root canals, performing endodontic surgeries in difficult access areas, removing fiberglass posts, and accessing teeth with developmental anomalies. In summary, guided endodontics has been a precise strategy, effective, safe, and clinically applicable. This procedure represents incorporating technological resources and digital planning in the Endodontist clinical practice, increasing predictability to complex cases.
