CE Hours: 0.75

Description: The diagnostic limitations in endodontics have historically impeded clinicians' ability to accurately visualize complex root canal structures. Two-dimensional imaging diagnostics fail to capture the complex structures essential for developing optimal treatment plans. We introduce a novel mobile extended reality (XR) platform that integrates Cone-Beam CT (CBCT) data with cloud-based technology to enable real-time three-dimensional visualization during endodontic procedures. This platform leverages mobile XR technology, allowing clinicians to use standard portable devices (smartphones/tablets) to overlay high-resolution 3D AR models of maxillofacial structures and root canal systems onto the surgical field. The system, through cloud connectivity, facilitates seamless integration of pre-operative CBCT data with intraoperative visualization, enhancing both non-surgical and surgical endodontic procedures. Clinical implementation across multiple cases has demonstrated significant improvement in anatomical understanding and procedural precision. Clinicians exhibited enhanced ability to navigate complex root canal systems and accurately locate surgical sites. The 3D visualization of CBCT data through 3D AR models enabled unprecedented spatial awareness during microsurgical procedures. This mobile XR platform represents a paradigm shift in endodontic practice by transcending the limitations of conventional imaging modalities. The mobile extended reality (XR) platform, accessible from common mobile devices, facilitates widespread adoption across various clinical settings and educational environments.

Learning Objectives:  

  • Describe how the integration of Cone-Beam CT data with mobile extended reality (XR) technology overcomes traditional diagnostic limitations in endodontic practice.
  • Explain how real-time 3D visualization enhances endodontic procedures by improving navigation of complex root canals and surgical site identification.
  • Evaluate the potential impact of cloud-connected mobile XR platforms on procedural precision, clinical accessibility, and educational applications in endodontics.
