Abstract:
A custom drill guide and a method, system, and computer readable media for determining a number and location of canals in the tooth in order to create a custom drill guide to match the anatomy for proper orientation of high speed burs and files for cleaning/shaping. By knowing where the canals are located within the tooth, a relatively small access opening may be created, the small access opening provides for a strong crown during the restoration process.
