Root canal therapy (RCT) is a widely performed procedure in dentistry, with over 25 million individuals undergoing it annually. This procedure is carried out to address inflammation or infection within the root canal system of affected teeth. However, accurately aligning CT scan information with the patient's tooth has posed challenges, leading to errors in tool positioning and potential negative outcomes. To overcome these challenges, a mixed reality application is developed using an optical see‐through head‐mounted display (OST‐HMD). The application incorporates visual cues, an augmented mirror, and dynamically updated multi‐view CT slices to address depth perception issues and achieve accurate tooth localization, comprehensive canal exploration, and prevention of perforation during RCT. Through the preliminary experimental assessment, significant improvements in the accuracy of the procedure are observed. Specifically, with the system the accuracy in position was improved from 1.4 to 0.4 mm (more than a 70% gain) using an Optical Tracker (NDI) and from 2.8 to 2.4 mm using an HMD, thereby achieving submillimeter accuracy with NDI. 6 participants were enrolled in the user study. The result of the study suggests that the average displacement on the crown plane of 1.27 ± 0.83 cm, an average depth error of 0.90 ± 0.72 cm and an average angular deviation of 1.83 ± 0.83°. Our error analysis further highlights the impact of HMD spatial localization and head motion on the registration and calibration process. Through seamless integration of CT image information with the patient's tooth, our mixed reality application assists dentists in achieving precise tool placement. This advancement in technology has the potential to elevate the quality of root canal procedures, ensuring better accuracy and enhancing overall treatment outcomes.
