Diagnosis
Root canal systems are typically curved or irregular, complicating
thorough cleaning and shaping. Maxillary premolars have a 30%
likelihood of exhibiting bifurcated or severely curved canals (14). The
diagnosis and treatment planning of modern-day root canal therapy has
greatly changed with the use of new diagnostic tools like cone-beam
computed tomography (CBCT). La Rosa et al. recently discussed guided
surgical endodontics, focusing on preoperative CBCT to predict
curvatures and describe access paths. The possibility of viewing the
root canal path and the anomalies associated with it enhances procedural
accuracy significantly (15).
