Introduction: This study presents a novel method to deliver intraosseous anesthesia using dynamic navigation technology. The study aimed to evaluate its safety and 3-dimensional (3D) accuracy in comparison to traditional freehand injection of intraosseous anesthesia.
Methods: Six identical sets of 3D-printed surgical jaw models (TrueJaw; DELendo, Santa Barbara, CA) comprising simulated alveolar and dental anatomy with 54 interradicular sites were used in this study.
Introduction: This study aimed to present a novel dynamic navigation method to attain minimally invasive access cavity preparations and to evaluate its 3-dimensional (3D) accuracy in locating highly difficult simulated calcified canals among maxillary and mandibular teeth.
Methods: Three identical sets of maxillary and mandibular 3D-printed jaw models composed of 84 teeth in their anatomic locations with simulated calcified canals (N = 138 canals) were set up on dental manikins. The Navident dynamic navigation system (ClaroNav, Toronto, Ontario, Canada) was used to plan and execute access preparations randomly with high-speed drills by a board-certified Endodontist.

Purpose: Much reported variation and discord exist regarding mandibular condylar hyperplasia (CH). This study evaluated some of the characteristics of this disorder in a series of 61 patients with active CH.
Patients And Methods: A total of 61 patients with active temporomandibular CH who had been evaluated in our departments were included.
