<abstract>
<p>Endodontics and restorative dentistry are integral components of oral healthcare, working collaboratively to preserve and restore tooth health and functionality. The interdependence between these two fields is particularly evident in cases where endodontic therapy precedes restorative interventions. Recent years have witnessed significant advancements in endodontics and restorative dentistry, primarily fueled by the incorporation of cutting-edge digital technologies. The integration of digital technologies has brought about a paradigm shift in the practices of dental professionals, fundamentally altering the way diagnoses are made, treatment plans are formulated, and interventions are executed. This shift is characterized by heightened precision, increased efficiency, and a more patient-centric approach, collectively elevating the standard of dental services. This study undertakes a comprehensive review of the current state of digital technologies in endodontic diagnosis and restorative planning, recognizing their transformative potential in modern dental practices. Commencing on February 25th, 2024, a meticulous examination of current academic literature, utilizing diverse databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane was conducted. The search strategy employed various medical terminologies and manual searches on Google Scholar to identify pertinent research terms. The study emphasizes the rapid evolution and integration of digital technologies in dentistry, presenting novel opportunities to enhance diagnostic precision and streamline treatment planning in both endodontics and restorative dentistry. The review underscores that the integration of digital technologies, encompassing digital radiography, electronic apex locators, digital impressions, computer-aided designing and manufacturing technology, teledentistry, and augmented reality/virtual reality, has ushered in a new era of precision, efficiency, and collaboration in endodontic diagnosis and restorative planning. These technologies collectively enhance diagnostic accuracy, streamline treatment planning, and improve communication among dental professionals, reaffirming the pivotal role of technology in achieving optimal outcomes in both fields.
