Endodontic Breakthroughs

Endodontics has seen major advancements aimed at improving root canal treatment outcomes and patient comfort. Innovations like 3D imaging (CBCT) and digital apex locators allow for more accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. Rotary NiTi instruments and laser-assisted cleaning systems enhance precision and canal disinfection. Biocompatible materials such as bioceramic sealers promote better healing and sealing. Microsurgical techniques using dental microscopes support minimally invasive procedures. Regenerative endodontics, using stem cells and growth factors, is opening new possibilities for restoring damaged pulp tissue. These breakthroughs are transforming endodontic care into a more effective and predictable specialty.
