Guided Endodontics, Static Guides Development, Design, and Clinical Applications

Abstract

Introduction The guided endodontics concept was built and designed around the static guides that were originally developed for guided implant surgery. Static guides allow for more precise and accurate treatment of advanced, more complicated endodontic cases with higher success rates. This article presents a brief history of 3D printing in dentistry, how to create endodontic static guides, and their applications in nonsurgical endodontics.
