Dynamic Navigation has recently gained significant interest in the field of Endodontics. As we continue to explore its potential and suitability for endodontic therapy, a need for a better integration within the endodontic workflow is emerging. This presentation will provide a brief introduction of the core principles of Dynamic Navigation for Endodontics while specifically focusing on the its latest advancements, potential for achieving optimal directed dentin conservation during non-surgical endodontic access cavity preparation as well as its limitations and shortcomings. A novel approach allowing for the integration of Dynamic Navigation with the surgical operating microscope based practice will also be discussed.

Learning Objectives:

Describe the core principles of Dynamic Navigation in the context of non-surgical Endodontics
Describe different techniques to achieve directed dentin conservation during access cavity preparation using Dynamic Navigation
Describe novel approaches to achieve optimal ergonomics when integrating Dynamic Navigation with the surgical operating microscope
