Current Trends in the Use of Guided Technology in Surgical Endodontics: A Web-Based Survey

Abstract

The use of guided technology is emerging in surgical endodontics. 3-dimensionally printed surgical guides (3DSGs) and dynamic navigation systems (DNS) are two of these guided techniques. While a guided protocol theoretically removes much of the "guesswork" associated with a surgical procedure, it remains unclear if endodontists today are aware of these novel approaches and if so, to what extent the technology is being incorporated into the standard endodontic practice. The purpose of this study was to assess the level of exposure to and incorporation of guided surgical techniques into the surgical practice of endodontists and endodontic residents.
