Introduction: The advent of the recent concept of “Guided Endodontics" has revolutionized the field of Endodontics, particularly with the introduction of dynamic navigation (DN). DN has shown potential not only in complex cases but also in everyday practice.
The aim of the study: This study aimed to systematically review the application of DN for drilling in endodontics and conducted a meta-analysis to assess its accuracy and efficiency compared to conventional endodontics (free hand drilling).
Materials and Methods: Two independent reviewers conducted a comprehensive literature search using relevant keywords in four electronic databases. The review included eligible articles that were assessed for accuracy and efficiency. Bias assessment was conducted using ROB 2 tool.
Results: A total of 10 eligible articles were included in the systematic review and meta-analysis. The findings revealed that DN demonstrated statistically significant lower linear and angular deviations.
Conclusion: DN proves to be a valuable, accurate, and effective modality in endodontics. It optimizes treatment outcomes even for less experienced operators and paves the way for a new era of digitalized endodontic practice.
