Accuracy and efficiency of guided root-end resection using a dynamic navigation system: a human cadaver study.

The dynamic navigation system was more accurate and more efficient in root-end resection in a cadaver model than the freehand technique. The distance of the roots from the buccal cortical plate had a significant negative impact on the accuracy and efficacy of the root-end resection procedure when using the freehand technique. The dynamic navigation system has the potential to be a safe and reliable technological addition to endodontic microsurgery.
