Microbots: herramientas para el diagnóstico y tratamiento en endodoncia

Abstract

Despite advances in techniques and materials, significant challenges remain, especially in the complete disinfection and cleaning of the root canal system due to its complex anatomy and the presence of resistant microorganisms. In this context, microbots have emerged as innovative technology with the potential to improve endodontic treatments. Their ability to navigate and operate with precision in confined spaces allows for effective control and elimination of infectious agents and localized drug delivery. This thesis aims to review the existing literature on the use of microbots in endodontics, highlighting their diagnostic and therapeutic applications, as well as the challenges and prospects in this field.
