S-15 Translating Dynamic Navigation Concepts into Everyday Endodontic Practice
CE Hours: 1.5
Description: Dynamic navigation is one of the most exciting technological advances in endodontics, offering real-time guidance and improved accuracy for access preparation, canal location, and microsurgical procedures. Current studies highlight its potential to enhance outcomes and reduce operator stress. However, the cost and logistical demands may limit widespread adoption. This presentation will explore the science and applications of dynamic navigation, while also translating key principles that can be applied to everyday practice. Attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of how to integrate navigation-inspired concepts into their freehand endodontic surgery and nonsurgical techniques, improving precision and predictability without necessarily investing in a device.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the principles of dynamic navigation technology and compare its advantages over traditional freehand endodontic access techniques.
- Demonstrate how to plan and execute guided surgical access using dynamic navigation systems in everyday clinical practice.
- Evaluate case selection, recognize limitations, and integrate dynamic navigation concepts into daily endodontic surgical practice
