Robotic and microrobotic tools such as dental operating microscopes and dental endoscopes are being used extensively in dental therapy, which have a significant impact on dental therapy and education. Herein, this paper reviews the state of the art of robotic and microrobotic tools for dental therapy. This article starts with a brief introduction of current robotic and microrobotic tools for dental therapy and then displays their applications in various dental problems; strengths and weaknesses are also surveyed. Lastly, the conclusion and outlook are discussed, referring to the emerging dental clinic problems and demands. This review is expected to provide guidelines for the therapeutic application of robotic and microrobotic tools and to promote the development of robots in dentistry.

“…Biodentine (Septodont, St. Maurdes Fossés, France) is an MTA-based castable material containing a liquid water-soluble polymer, which reduces the viscosity of the cement and thus improves handling. Therefore, Biodentine can be easily applied with conventional instruments such as plugs [30] . The results showed that Biodentine showed stronger sealing ability than MTA and both could promote bone regeneration after 6 months [31] .…”

Introduction: Periapical surgery has been indicated for the treatment of teeth with periapical lesions when disease persists despite orthograde periapical root canal treatment, a surgical approach may be indicated when periradicular pathosis cannot be resolved with a non-surgical approach. Objective: To analyze the literature on influencing factors on endodontic surgery, particularly surgical considerations, root-end preparation, root-end filling, and treatment success. Methodology: The search for articles was performed by a researcher in the Pubmed database. Keywords used were "endodontic surgery", "apicoectomy", "flaps", "osteotomy", "preparation of the root or apical end", "retrograde obturation" and "treatment success of endodontic surgeries". Results: The surgical considerations, such as that the flaps can be full thickness or divided and a fundamental part is to achieve a good esthetic in the healing. In the osteotomy the important thing is the diameter in which it is performed, the larger the diameter, the more the healing process will be. Then a resection of the root end will be performed, mainly the apical 3 mm and 3 mm intraconducts will be prepared in a retrograde way with ultrasound tips. The obturation will be performed in a retrograde way where the most used materials for this step in the procedure are MTA and Biodentine. The success rate of this treatment is over 80%. Conclusion: Endodontic surgery treatment is a highly complex and complicated procedure. In order to perform this treatment, good planning with CBCT studies should be carried out.
