Abstract: As imaging technology develops rapidly, dynamic and static guided technology is widely used in many medical fields now. In order to improve the success rate, reduce surgical complications and improve future prognosis, domestic and foreign experts have introduced digital navigation technology into apical surgery. With the help of digital navigation technology, apical lesions can be easily located and the scope of osteotomy can be limited, which can make the surgery be completed accurately, especially in complex clinical cases. This study overviews the clinical use and research progress of dynamic and static guided technology in apical surgery, summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of this technique as well as looks forward to its future.
