- Abstract
The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to analyze the efficacy of the computer-aided static navigation technique on the accuracy of root apex location in endodontic microsurgery. Material and Methods: A systematic literature review and meta-analysis, based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) recommendations, of clinical studies that evaluated the apex location rate of the computer-aided static navigation techniques applied to endodontic microsurgery. A total of four databases were consulted in the literature search: Pubmed-Medline, Scopus, Cochrane, and Web of Science. After eliminating duplicated articles and applying the inclusion criteria, seven articles were selected for the qualitative and the quantitative analysis. Results: The root apex location success rate stated at 96.8% (confidence interval (CI): 93.0–100%) of the cases performed through a computer-aided static navigation technique. The prediction interval ranges from 91.4% to 100%. The meta-analysis did not detect heterogeneity between the combined studies (Q-test = 6.15; p-value = 0.407; I2 = 2.4%). The computer-aided static navigation techniques showed a root apex location success rate 27 times higher than conventional endodontic microsurgery procedures (Q test = 0.80; p = 0.671; I2 = 0%). Three studies of computer-aided static navigation techniques and control group were compared using a random effects model with the Mantel-Haenszel method with a statistically significant odds success ratio of 27.7, with a 95% confidence interval between 11.3 and 68.1 (z test = 7.23; p < 0.0001). Conclusions: According to in vitro studies analyzed, endodontic microsurgeries performed through computer-aided static navigation techniques show a high precision.
