Dynamic navigation-assisted endodontic microsurgery: A case report of two successful outcomes

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Dynamic navigation (DN) has significantly advanced endodontic microsurgery, offering enhanced precision and improved clinical outcomes. This real-time guidance system improves accuracy during microsurgical procedures by providing continuous intraoperative monitoring. This article presents two clinical cases of anterior teeth requiring endodontic microsurgery due to persistent symptoms and periapical pathology following unsuccessful nonsurgical retreatment. DN enabled precise location of root apex and minimally invasive apicoectomy. Both cases demonstrated favorable outcomes, with a resolution of symptoms and periapical infection. The main advantages of DN include improved accuracy, reduced operative time, and enhanced patient care. These cases emphasize its potential as an innovative tool in modern endodontic surgery, emphasizing its value in achieving optimal clinical results while minimizing invasiveness.
