Practitioners' Perceptions of Augmented and Virtual Reality in Endodontic Treatment Planning: A Pilot Study

Modern 3D visualisation technologies were perceived as significantly superior to conventional 2D CBCT slice analysis, primarily by presenting pre-integrated anatomical models that reduce the perceived cognitive burden of mental 3D reconstruction from 2D slices. Screen-based segmentation was favoured for pragmatic workflow integration, though immersive technologies showed promise if adoption barriers are addressed.
