EndoPrep App

The EndoPrep App is an educational tool for dental students and new dental graduates to understand the importance of measurements and planning in endodontic treatment.

The application features a measurement tool for measuring canal curvature, tooth inclination and lengths. There will be more updates and features that will be released in future. Please download the app and recommend it to your colleagues.

This update includes an online study guide to help dentists, endodontic residents and endodontists access relevant key literature.

Description

Endodontics involves more than shaping, cleaning and fillings canals. Dentists differ in the way they plan and view tackling a root canal treatment case. The EndoPrep App was developed with the hope of educating dentists to plan their root canal treatment cases.

The first release of the application contains a feature where you can upload images and measure angles and lengths on the image. The measurement tool is useful when you are discussing cases with your colleagues when you do not have radiographic software available. You can also use your camera to upload and measure images. The measurement tool is useful if you use chemically developed films and hence do not have digital software to measure radiographs.

Future updates of the Endoprep App will include:

-Guides on how to prepare root canals,

-Guides on how to obturate root canals,

-Endodontic calculator tools,

-Print-on-demand sheets,

-Study guides.

By downloading the EndoPrep App, you will be notified when there are new features available.
