Endodontic procedures often require precise management of the root apex, particularly in cases involving open apices or periapical lesions. Apical barrier techniques are essential to achieve an effective seal and promote periapical healing. Traditionally, materials such as mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and calcium hydroxide have been used to create an artificial apical barrier. However, advancements in digital dentistry, including 3D imaging, guided endodontics, and bioceramic materials, are transforming the approach to apical barrier formation.
