Image-guided dentistry has proven a cost-effective and easily applicable technology that adapts to several treatments. Currently, image-guided techniques are moving toward the so-called dynamic navigation which relies on CT, CBCT or MRI images to improve the accuracy of dental procedures. Dynamic navigation can help in restorative dentistry; for example, it allows to locate root canals in endodontic …
