(1) Background: A Dynamic Navigation System (DNS) is an innovative tool that facilitates the management of complex endodontic cases. Despite the number of advantages and limitations of this approach, there is no evidence-based information about its efficiency in comparison with that of the traditional method in endodontics. (2) Objectives: We aimed to explore any beneficial effects of the DNS and compare the outcomes of DNS vs. free-hand (FH) approaches for non-surgical and microsurgical endodontics. (3) Methods: A literature search was conducted in August 2023 to identify randomized, experimental, non-surgical, and microsurgical endodontic studies that compared the DNS with FH approaches. The procedural time (ΔT, s), substance loss (ΔV, mm), angular deviation (ΔAD, °), coronal/platform linear deviation (ΔLD_C, mm), and apical linear deviation (ΔLD_A, mm) were recorded and analyzed. Quality and risk of bias assessments were conducted according to the Quality Assessment Tool For In Vitro Studies. A meta-analysis was performed using mean difference and standard deviation for each outcome, and heterogeneity () was estimated. < 0.05 was considered significant. (4) Results: One-hundred and forty-six studies were identified following duplicate removal, and nine were included in the systematic review and meta-analysis. The overall risk of bias was classified as low. The DNS was found to be more accurate and efficient than the FH approach was, resulting in a significantly shorter operation time ( < 0.00001) and less angular ( ≤ 0.0001) and linear deviation ( ≤ 0.01). For substance loss, the advantage of the DNS was significant only for microsurgery ( = 0.65, and < 0.005, for non-surgical and microsurgical procedures, respectively). A reduced risk of iatrogenic failure using the DNS was observed for both expert and novice operators. (5) Conclusions: The DNS appears beneficial for non-surgical and microsurgical endodontics, regardless of the operator's experience. However, appropriate training and experience are necessary to access the full advantages offered by the DNS.
(1) 背景:动态导航系统(DNS)是一种创新工具,有助于复杂牙髓病病例的处理。尽管这种方法有诸多优点和局限性,但与牙髓病传统方法相比,尚无基于证据的关于其效率的信息。(2) 目的:我们旨在探究DNS的任何有益效果,并比较DNS与徒手(FH)方法在非手术和显微手术牙髓病治疗中的结果。(3) 方法:于2023年8月进行文献检索,以确定将DNS与FH方法进行比较的随机、实验性、非手术和显微手术牙髓病研究。记录并分析操作时间(ΔT,秒)、物质损失(ΔV,毫米)、角度偏差(ΔAD,度)、冠部/平台线性偏差(ΔLD_C,毫米)和根尖线性偏差(ΔLD_A,毫米)。根据体外研究质量评估工具进行质量和偏倚风险评估。对每个结果使用均值差和标准差进行荟萃分析,并估计异质性()。<0.05被认为具有统计学意义。(4) 结果:经过重复剔除后确定了146项研究,其中9项纳入系统评价和荟萃分析。总体偏倚风险被分类为低。发现DNS比FH方法更准确、更高效,手术时间显著缩短(<0.00001),角度(≤0.0001)和线性偏差更小(≤0.01)。对于物质损失,DNS的优势仅在显微手术中显著(非手术和显微手术程序的分别为=0.65和<0.005)。对于专家和新手操作者,使用DNS均观察到医源性失败风险降低。(5) 结论:无论操作者经验如何,DNS似乎对非手术和显微手术牙髓病治疗有益。然而,需要适当的培训和经验才能充分利用DNS提供的优势。
