Novel Techniques in Endodontics

Dear Colleagues,

Modern endodontics prioritizes efficient, high-quality treatment. New technologies are transforming this field by providing superior visualization within the root canal. This Special Issue explores the latest advancements in endodontic, including fiber optics, instrument evaluation, and shaping and cleaning techniques.

Leading experts delve into how new technologies enhances various aspects of endodontic treatment:

• Precise canal identification: Highly precise tridimensional evaluation allows for a better visualization of complex canal structures, ensuring thorough cleaning and shaping.
• Early complication detection: It is crucial to identify cracks and perforations early to prevent treatment failure.
• Navigation of challenging canals: Curved, narrow, or blocked canals are easier to navigate with superior illumination, reducing procedural errors.
• Disinfection efficacy: Proper knowledge of the power of the enhanced activation process is key for effective irrigation and disinfection.

This Special Issue will explore the integration of navigation systems with CBCT scans and digital imaging for a comprehensive approach. Additionally, it will address practical considerations for implementing new technologies in the clinic, including ergonomics, workflow optimization, and cost-effectiveness.

By showcasing the transformative power of novel techniques, this Special Issue empowers dentists to elevate their practice and deliver exceptional patient care.
