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: The aim of this in vitro study was to compare the speed, qualitative precision, and quantitative loss of tooth structure with freehand and dynamically navigated access preparation techniques for root canal location in 3-dimensional-printed teeth with simulated calcified root canals.
Methods: Forty maxillary and mandibular central incisors (tooth #9 and tooth #25) were 3-dimensionally printed to simulate canal calcification. Under simulated clinical conditions, access preparations were randomly performed with contemporary freehand and dynamically navigated techniques.
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.
