Digitalization in Endodontics

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Digitization in Dentistry

Abstract

With the great growing of digitalization in dentistry, digital technologies have become very common and fundamental in Endodontics. This chapter describes some of these technologies and their applications in endodontics. Apart from the apex locators and Endodontic electric motors, the usage of microscopes, digital radiography, CBCT, ultrasound imaging, optical coherence tomography, dynamic navigation, and 3D micro-guided access for endodontic surgery are described in this chapter.
