SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRAINING DENTISTS IN ENDODONTAL TREATMENT TECHNIQUES

摘要

The system according to the invention comprises: a handpiece (2) to which may be connected an endodontal instrument (4) intended to be inserted into a root canal; a measurement unit (9) for measuring a parameter associated with the position of the endodontal instrument (4) in the root canal; and a calculation and display unit (5) for displaying a graph indicative of the change in the parameter measured by the measurement unit (9) over the course of an endodontal treatment using the endodontal instrument (4). The method according to the invention involves the following steps: by means of a calculation and display unit (5) displaying a graph indicative of the change in a parameter measured during the course of a root canal treatment performed by the dentist, the parameter being associated with the position of an endodontal instrument in the root canal; and making available a reference graph indicative of a predetermined endodontal treatment technique so as to allow a comparison between the graph indicative of the change in measured the parameter and the reference graph.
