New horizons in dental practice: Application of dynamic navigation in implantology, endodontics and maxillofacial surgery

ABSTRACT Dynamic navigation (DN) provides for tracking the position of instruments in real time through a computerized system. Through the use of video tracking systems, DN displays the location of instruments on a computer monitor, enabling doctors to manage them with a high degree of accuracy and control. This technology is especially useful when performing complex and demanding procedures such as endodontic microsurgery, sinus lifting and orthognathic surgery. The purpose of the review is to analyze the literature data on the use of DN technology in dentistry with a special focus on oral implantology, endodontics and maxillofacial surgery, as well as to identify the main disadvantages and advantages of this technique and to propose recommendations for its introduction into widespread clinical practice. As a result of the search, 6,755 publications were extracted from PubMed/MEDLINE, Google Scholar, and eLibrary databases.En, after the selection procedure, 88 articles were included in the review. DN allows doctors to visualize the patient's anatomy before surgery, plan the intervention with high accuracy, and monitor the course of the procedure in real time. This is especially important during complex operations such as dental implantation, where the accuracy of the implant placement is crucial for the success of the treatment. The use of digital technologies also reduces the risk of complications and shortens the duration of the rehabilitation period after surgery. Thus, the introduction of DN into dental practice represents a significant step forward in the development of medicine. These technologies not only improve the quality of medical services, but also make the treatment process safer and more comfortable for patients. In the future, we can expect further development and integration of digital technologies into dentistry, which will lead to the creation of new diagnostic and treatment methods, as well as to an increase in the level of professionalism of doctors.
