Teeth

435
The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Endodontics
  • Computer-aided technology

Background:

  • Digital guided therapy (DGT) is an emerging computer-aided technique for endodontic treatment.
  • DGT encompasses static guided endodontics (SGE) using 3D-printed templates and dynamic guided endodontics (DGE) with real-time navigation.
  • Conventional freehand methods present challenges in complex endodontic cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce Digital Guided Therapy (DGT) as an alternative strategy for endodontic treatment.
  • To outline the case selection, workflow, evaluation, and impact of DGT.
  • To highlight DGT's potential in managing challenging endodontic cases.

Main Methods:

  • Virtual template design using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and oral scan (OS) data.
  • Fabrication of 3D-printed templates for SGE.
  • Real-time navigation guidance systems for DGE.

Main Results:

  • DGT demonstrates precision, time-saving benefits, and minimally invasive characteristics compared to freehand methods.
  • Successful application of DGT in challenging cases: pulp obliteration, anatomical abnormalities, retreatment, microsurgery, and autotransplantation.
  • Case reports and research support DGT's efficacy.

Conclusions:

  • DGT offers a precise, time-saving, and minimally invasive approach to endodontic treatment.
  • It provides a viable alternative working strategy for complex endodontic procedures.
  • Further adoption of DGT is recommended for challenging endodontic cases.
