Guided endodontics has emerged as a transformative approach in root canal treatment, leveraging advanced technology to enhance precision and predictability. This article delves into the concept of guided endodontics, its benefits, technological components, workflow, clinical applications, challenges, and future prospects. Key to guided endodontics is the utilization of three-Dimensional (3D) imaging, notably Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), which provides intricate insights into root canal anatomy. Through specialized software, practitioners create virtual models, enabling meticulous treatment planning and simulation. The benefits of guided endodontics are multifold. It minimizes procedural errors by visualizing complex canal configurations and spatial relationships, promoting conservative tooth preservation while addressing pathology. Furthermore, interdisciplinary collaborations are facilitated, ensuring comprehensive patient care.

Catheterization has evolved from a diagnostic tool to a cornerstone of modern medical practice, enabling minimally invasive interventions that prioritize patient well-being. This article explores the remarkable advancements in catheterization techniques within modern medicine and highlights the shift towards a patient-centric approach to care. By examining the evolution of catheterization, its diverse applications, and the integration of cutting-edge technology, this article underscores the pivotal role of catheterization in providing effective, personalized, and less invasive interventions. Advancements in catheterization techniques have transformed medical practice. From its initial use in cardiac catheterization, catheter-based procedures have expanded to encompass a broad spectrum of medical fields, including cardiovascular interventions, urology, nephrology, and neurology. The applications of catheterization have extended beyond diagnostics, with therapeutic interventions like Percutaneous Coronary Interventions (PCI) and Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacements (TAVR) becoming routine procedures. This evolution has ushered in an era of tailored treatments that consider patients' individual needs and medical histories.
