SP-39 The Use of AI and Digital Workflow in Surgical Endodontics. think Outside the Box!
CE Hours: 0.75
Description: Prevention and/or elimination of pulpal pathology and apical periodontitis is the ultimate goal of endodontic treatment. The success rate of primary non-surgical root canal treatment is >90%.Root canal retreatment might also fail or may not be feasible, on those cases root end surgery is the procedure of choice in those cases. The success rate of the micro-surgery was reported to be (94%) as shown in the systematic review and meta-analysis by Setzer et al. Despite its very high success, micro-surgery may be difficult to perform in certain cases. The combination of artificial intelligence (AI) and digital workflow has the potential to revolutionize endodontics. AI can be used to improve diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient care, while digital workflow can improve efficiency and accuracyIn this lecture, the advancement of AI and digital workflow in the field of Endodontic microsurgery, intentional replantation , and autotransplantation will be discussed, including the use of guided and navigation systems technology to perform the highest standard procedure with a predictable outcome.
Learning Objectives:
- Learn how to use artificial intelligence (AI) to improve the diagnosis and treatment planning.
- Perform precise and accurate guided Root-end surgeries.
- Discuss the use of digital workflows in Endodontics to maximize the outcome of Auto transplantation for different clinical presentations.
