Aims: Digital flow is a reality in contemporary Dentistry. In this sense, 3D guides and operating microscopes to improve the performance of endodontic surgeries have gained prominence and are becoming more accessible to dental surgeons. Therefore, the following literature review aims to verify the effectiveness of using these new technologies, comparing conventional surgical techniques with those that use digital means.

Study Design: Literature Review.

Methodology: The articles included in the work were found on the search platforms “Pubmed”, “CAPES Platform”, “Scielo” and “VHL health”. Based on chosen terms, those that had been published in the last 10 years, in Portuguese, English or Spanish were selected and which, after reading, were correlated with keywords in the development of the text and/or dealt with endodontic surgery performed with technological methods. After applying the described methodology, 38 articles were included.

Conclusion: When reviewing and analyzing the articles incorporated into the study, it was observed that the authors agreed that the incorporation of new technologies in endodontics, such as 3D guides and microscopes, had positive impacts, providing greater precision and safety. However, there is a need to expand studies and knowledge. This is due to the fact that these are recent techniques that are still being improved.
