• Access cavity preparation when
the anatomic crown is missing
1) Teethwith minimalor no clinical
crown
• An endodontic explorer fails to
penetrate the calcified pulp
chamber
• A long-shank round bur is
directed in the assumed long axis
of the root
• Perforation of the root wall,
resulting from failure to consider
root angulation
• Palpation of the buccal root
anatomy without a dental dam in
place to determine root angulation
• Correct bur angulation after repair
of the perforation with mineral
trioxide aggregate (MTA).
• (Cohen)
HeavilyRestored Teeth
(Including those with full coronal coverage)
• Original crown contour of the tooth
Heavily Restored Teeth
(Including those with full coronal coverage)
• A full veneer crown is used to change the
original crown contour for esthetic purposes.
• Access perforation resulting from reliance on
the full veneer crown contour rather than the
long axis of the root.
• In a heavily restored maxillary second
molar that requires root canal therapy,
the clinician may attempt access to the
canals
• Pretreatment radiographs demonstrate
three important factors:
• (1) a reinforcing pin is in place(arrow);
• (2) at least two thirds of the coronal
portion is restorative material;
• (3) the mesiobuccal canal appears
calcified (arrow).
• A safer, more conservative approach is to remove the
amalgam, the pin, and any old cements.
• Careful excavation, using enhanced vision, results in
access to the pulp chamber.
• The clinician now can perform sound root canal therapy,
followed by internal reinforcement and full coverage.

• Extensive class V restoration
necessitated by root caries
and
• Periodontal disease that led
to canal calcification (arrow).
B, Access to the canal is
occluded by calcification.
Removal of the facial

CAC NINJA TRUSS
In the conservative access cavity premolars were accessed 1 mm buccal to
the central fossa, and cavities extended apically , maintaining part of the
chamber roof and lingual shelf. Molars were accessed at the mesial quarter
of the central fossa, and cavities extended apically and distally while
maintaining part of the chamber roof.

• The access ‘‘ninja’’ outline is derived from the oblique projection toward
the central fossa of the root canal orifices on the occlusal plane. By doing
this, localization of all the root canal orifices is possible even from
different visual angulations because the endodontic access is parallel with
the enamel cut at 90 or more to the occlusal table

Guided endodontics
• Guided endodontic procedures are a promising technique offering a
highly predictable outcome and lower risk of iatrogenic damage.
Minimally invasive treatment can be performed, and chair side time
can be reduced.
• We can illustrate the steps of CBCT guided endodontics through the
following case report that was published on 8 October 2015 on
onlinelibrary.wiley.com.
• A 15‐year‐old male patient presented with pain of his upper right central
incisor. He had a history of trauma 7 years prior to the upper anterior
region.
Slight, hardly visible discoloration of the maxillary right central incisor
secondary to trauma

and reproducible fitting
Clinical application: After the removal of enamel, the bur was guided through the
sleeve to gain access to the apical third of the root canal. The sleeve's mechanical
stop indicates that the bur reached the planned position

Limitations of guided endodontics
•In many cases intra oral radiography is used during follow-up. Given the
2D nature of the image, the deviation of the access cavity underestimated
in terms of its bucco-lingual position as well as the healing of per apical
lesions. (Ali & Arslan, 2019)
•When planning for guide access cavity ,it should be noted that it can be
used only in straight portion of the canal and not beyond the curvature.
•It should be mentioned that reduced mouth opening could impose
limitations when trying to implement this technique in posterior region.
Dynamic navigation endodontics
• Promising technology designed to guide the placement of
drills/implants in real time, based on information generated from the
patient’s computed tomography (CT).
• In endodontics, dynamic navigation is used for localization of
calcified canals as well root-end resection surgeries. Treatment
planning and surgery can be performed in the same appointment.
Advantages of this technology over static CBCT
guided endodontics
• No waiting period is required for a 3D printed or milled drill guide to
be delivered from the lab.
• No guide rings are required .so it is easy to plan and execute multiple
drill path in multi canalled posterior teeth.
• Any treatment changes if needed are allowed to be made at the time
of surgery. So drills can be updated as new information is acquired
during the procedure
Components of dynamic navigation system
Navident Unit Used for Dynamic Navigation (ClaroNav,
Toronto, Canada)
Navident planning screen. In this case used for planning the endodontic access cavity (appears in yellow)
through the calcified pulp chamber directly into the radiographically visible coronal entrance to the
canal. The operator adjusts the yellow “implant” image, which will be used for the guidance (diameter,
length, position and direction) until they are satisfied that this is the best path to take. Axial, coronal and
sagittal views are aligned to set up the correct path for the bur to follow
Head-Tracker. This unit is used for maxillary teeth. The Head-Tracker is securely placed on the
patient head. The pattern on the tracker is identified by the stereoscopic camera on the Navident
unit and used as a reference point for the software
Tracer Tool. This instrument is used to trace landmarks (between 3 and 6) such as existing teeth in the patient,
that are identified in the CBCT that has been preloaded into the Navident software. This enables the software to
register (“merge”) the CBCT image to the actual physical patient’s jaw.
• Following this step, the high-speed handpiece, also tracked by the system,
is calibrated in a short two-step process: the axis is calibrated first,
followed by calibration of the drill’s tip.
• This lets the system continuously track the bur’s direction and position,
and to report it to the user on the Navident screen.
The high-speed handpiece installed with its universal optical tracking tag (Drill Tag)
The Calibrator is a multi tool calibration device that enables the calibration of low and high speed handpiece
driven burs and drills and other rigid dental instruments. The quick calibration process done using this tool is used
for determining the drill tip position and location in relation to the optical tracking tag installed on the handpiece.
This way the navigation system can adapt to the particular angulation and length of the drill to be used when
preparing the access cavity and have it represented correctly on the navigation screen. Each time a bur is changed
in the handpiece, its length is quickly calibrated by the user
Navident navigation screen. Drill’s image (green) following the pre-planned path for locating the canal on the CBCT
image in the different views all the views on the screen show proper alignment
This is the actual view the operator follows during active dynamic navigation. The operator aligns the head of the hand
piece and the tip of the bur into the center circle (“Bulls eye”). The main center circle has a diameter of 1.0mm. Each
Orange circle is separated by 1 mm orange intervals. The green bar on the right shows the distance (in mm) left to drill
to the pointed tip of the planned trajectory (in yellow). Here we are 4 mm away from the predetermined target

HeavilyRestored Teeth (Including those with full coronal coverage) • Original crown contour of the tooth Heavily Restored Teeth (Including those with full coronal coverage) • A full veneer crown is used to change the original crown contour for esthetic purposes. • Access perforation resulting from reliance on the full veneer crown contour rather than the long axis of the root.
  • 28. • In a heavily restored maxillary second molar that requires root canal therapy, the clinician may attempt access to the canals • Pretreatment radiographs demonstrate three important factors: • (1) a reinforcing pin is in place(arrow); • (2) at least two thirds of the coronal portion is restorative material; • (3) the mesiobuccal canal appears calcified (arrow).
  • 29. • A safer, more conservative approach is to remove the amalgam, the pin, and any old cements. • Careful excavation, using enhanced vision, results in access to the pulp chamber. • The clinician now can perform sound root canal therapy, followed by internal reinforcement and full coverage.

  • 53. In the conservative access cavity premolars were accessed 1 mm buccal to the central fossa, and cavities extended apically , maintaining part of the chamber roof and lingual shelf. Molars were accessed at the mesial quarter of the central fossa, and cavities extended apically and distally while maintaining part of the chamber roof. CAC CAC
  • 54. • The access ‘‘ninja’’ outline is derived from the oblique projection toward the central fossa of the root canal orifices on the occlusal plane. By doing this, localization of all the root canal orifices is possible even from different visual angulations because the endodontic access is parallel with the enamel cut at 90 or more to the occlusal table NINJA AC NINJA AC

  • 76. Guided endodontics • Guided endodontic procedures are a promising technique offering a highly predictable outcome and lower risk of iatrogenic damage. Minimally invasive treatment can be performed, and chair side time can be reduced.
  • 77. • We can illustrate the steps of CBCT guided endodontics through the following case report that was published on 8 October 2015 on onlinelibrary.wiley.com. • A 15‐year‐old male patient presented with pain of his upper right central incisor. He had a history of trauma 7 years prior to the upper anterior region.
  • 78. Slight, hardly visible discoloration of the maxillary right central incisor secondary to trauma
  • 79. Radiograph of the same tooth showing almost complete PCC and a widened periodontal ligament space at the periapex
  • 80. CBCT showing apical periodontitis and PCC. The root canal is visible in the apical part of the root
  • 81. Special drill used for root canal location
  • 82. Drill virtually superimposed to the root canal in the planning software
  • 84. Printed template with included metal sleeve
  • 85. Template positioned on the maxillary teeth to check its correct and reproducible fitting
  • 86. Clinical application: After the removal of enamel, the bur was guided through the sleeve to gain access to the apical third of the root canal. The sleeve's mechanical stop indicates that the bur reached the planned position
  • 87. View of the endodontic access cavity after root canal location
  • 88. periapical radiograph with silver cone in the root canal
  • 90. Limitations of guided endodontics •In many cases intra oral radiography is used during follow-up. Given the 2D nature of the image, the deviation of the access cavity underestimated in terms of its bucco-lingual position as well as the healing of per apical lesions. (Ali & Arslan, 2019) •When planning for guide access cavity ,it should be noted that it can be used only in straight portion of the canal and not beyond the curvature. •It should be mentioned that reduced mouth opening could impose limitations when trying to implement this technique in posterior region.
  • 91. Dynamic navigation endodontics • Promising technology designed to guide the placement of drills/implants in real time, based on information generated from the patient’s computed tomography (CT). • In endodontics, dynamic navigation is used for localization of calcified canals as well root-end resection surgeries. Treatment planning and surgery can be performed in the same appointment.
  • 92. Advantages of this technology over static CBCT guided endodontics • No waiting period is required for a 3D printed or milled drill guide to be delivered from the lab. • No guide rings are required .so it is easy to plan and execute multiple drill path in multi canalled posterior teeth. • Any treatment changes if needed are allowed to be made at the time of surgery. So drills can be updated as new information is acquired during the procedure
  • 93. Components of dynamic navigation system Navident Unit Used for Dynamic Navigation (ClaroNav, Toronto, Canada)
  • 94. Navident planning screen. In this case used for planning the endodontic access cavity (appears in yellow) through the calcified pulp chamber directly into the radiographically visible coronal entrance to the canal. The operator adjusts the yellow “implant” image, which will be used for the guidance (diameter, length, position and direction) until they are satisfied that this is the best path to take. Axial, coronal and sagittal views are aligned to set up the correct path for the bur to follow
  • 95. Head-Tracker. This unit is used for maxillary teeth. The Head-Tracker is securely placed on the patient head. The pattern on the tracker is identified by the stereoscopic camera on the Navident unit and used as a reference point for the software
  • 96. Tracer Tool. This instrument is used to trace landmarks (between 3 and 6) such as existing teeth in the patient, that are identified in the CBCT that has been preloaded into the Navident software. This enables the software to register (“merge”) the CBCT image to the actual physical patient’s jaw.
  • 97. • Following this step, the high-speed handpiece, also tracked by the system, is calibrated in a short two-step process: the axis is calibrated first, followed by calibration of the drill’s tip. • This lets the system continuously track the bur’s direction and position, and to report it to the user on the Navident screen.
  • 98. The high-speed handpiece installed with its universal optical tracking tag (Drill Tag)
  • 99. The Calibrator is a multi tool calibration device that enables the calibration of low and high speed handpiece driven burs and drills and other rigid dental instruments. The quick calibration process done using this tool is used for determining the drill tip position and location in relation to the optical tracking tag installed on the handpiece. This way the navigation system can adapt to the particular angulation and length of the drill to be used when preparing the access cavity and have it represented correctly on the navigation screen. Each time a bur is changed in the handpiece, its length is quickly calibrated by the user
  • 100. Navident navigation screen. Drill’s image (green) following the pre-planned path for locating the canal on the CBCT image in the different views all the views on the screen show proper alignment
  • 101. This is the actual view the operator follows during active dynamic navigation. The operator aligns the head of the hand piece and the tip of the bur into the center circle (“Bulls eye”). The main center circle has a diameter of 1.0mm. Each Orange circle is separated by 1 mm orange intervals. The green bar on the right shows the distance (in mm) left to drill to the pointed tip of the planned trajectory (in yellow). Here we are 4 mm away from the predetermined target
