Unmet Needs in Endodontic Treatment
Low success rate in difficult cases
(Dealing with complex root canal morphology, risk of reinfection, retreatment of root canals)
Limitations even with current precision treatment using microscopes
Addressing unmet needs requires technological innovation
Endodontic treatment Aims to preserve teeth without extraction
Aims of MANI Endodontic Compass
In "Patency & Shaping," provide optimal treatment protocols by combining hand files and rotary files, contributing to improved clinical outcomes
By entering the "Irrigation" and "Obturation" business areas, provide total solutions for endodontic treatment and help resolve unmet needs
