On the Horizon: What’s Next for Endodontics

CLINICS CARE POINTS • AI-enhanced CBCT and digital radiography can be utilized to improve diagnostic accuracy d to be carefully reviewed to avoid errors from anatomical overlap or data artifacts. • Digital avatars generated from CBCT and intraoral scans might be employed for personalized atomy, enhancing treatment precision and patient communication. On the Horizon 9 • Augmented and mixed reality may be integrated into clinical procedures for real-time tially reducing procedural errors. • Robotic assistance in endodontics shows promise for enhancing precision, reducing r in apical surgery, though current systems still need clinician oversight and further development for full automation. • Patient data security should be prioritized when AI, avatars, and IoT devices are used, with rds being maintained.
