Guided endodontics is a contemporary technique that combines three-dimensional imaging and digital planning to improve the precision of access cavity preparation in anatomically challenging cases. Conventional freehand access in teeth with pulp canal obliteration or calcified canals is associated with an increased risk of excessive dentin removal and iatrogenic complications. Guided endodontic approaches aim to enhance accuracy and conservation of tooth structure. This webinar critically discusses the principles and clinical workflows of static and dynamic guided endodontics. Static guided endodontics utilizes cone beam computed tomography data merged with surface scans to facilitate virtual planning and fabrication of a three-dimensionally printed guide, enabling controlled access preparation. Dynamic guided endodontics employs real-time navigation systems that allow continuous intraoperative tracking of the bur relative to the planned pathway, offering greater flexibility. The session will review current evidence regarding accuracy, clinical indications, limitations, and potential sources of error, and will compare both techniques to assist clinicians in evidence-based case selection and clinical application
