Dynamic Navigation in Endodontics
Dynamic navigation (DN) is a promising technology designed to guide the placement of drills/implants in real time, based on information generated from the patient’s computed tomography (CT). In endodontics, dynamic navigation is used for localization of c

Foreword
With X-Rays, Z Is the New Dimension! We are all familiar with the X- and Y-planes when we view X-ray digital images. Now be prepared to step-up and embrace the third dimension which will dramatically improve the accuracy of our diagnostic interpretations and treatment planning. Dr. Kinariwala and his colleagues describe a paradigm shift in endodontic therapy that provides an accurate insight and step-by-step planning on the usage of static and dynamic navigation for difficult root canal treatments. This state-of-the- art technology is quite remarkable in enabling the dentists to view any portion of the jaws in three dimensions on a screen or to create a 3D printed life-sized model for more sophisticated diagnosis and/or treatment planning. 3D-guided endodontics is a technology-driven treatment protocol, which provides safe and predictable solution in cases of partial and complete root canal calcifications and root end surgeries. With the advancement of CBCT and software, assessment of root canal anatomy, canal projection and tentative working length can be easily analysed, which allows clinicians to actually plan endodontic treatments beforehand.
