Abstract: Objective: To establish the design and manufacturing method of personalized pulp opening guide template based on CBCT data and design software. Methods: A volunteer was taken CBCT and MIMICS17.0 was imported to extract the three-dimensional model of the target tooth. The shape of the pulp cavity was separated. The inner tube was designed in UG8.0 and inserted into the appropriate position of the three-dimensional model of the tooth. Finally, the inner tube and the three-dimensional model of the tooth were led into 3-matic9.0 together to make a personalized pulp opening guide template. Results: The models of 21, 25, and 26 were successfully designed. Conclusion: The combination of MIMICS, UG, and 3-matic software can effectively design the personalized pulp opening guide template with arbitrary hole shape, and realize the personalized guide template assisted pulp opening in root canal therapy.
