MUMBAI, India, Sept. 14 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641100108 A) filed by Saveetha Institute Of Medical And Technical Sciences on August 19, 2026, for A Digital Endodontic Caliper For Precise Measurement Of Root Canal And Endodontic Parameters..
Inventors include Dr. Gargi Gandhi; Dr. Pradeep Solete; and Deepak Nallaswamy Veeraiyan.
The application for the patent was published on September 11, 2026, under issue no. 37/2026.
Abstract: ABSTRACT: The present invention relates to a digital endodontic measuring instrument designed for the direct determination of distances between root canal orifices within the pulp chamber of a tooth. The instrumcnt comprises a pair of fine measuring beaks adapted to engage selected canal orifices, a displacement sensing mechanism, a processing unit, and a digital display configured to provide real-time measurements. The device enables accurate and reproducible assessment of inter- orifice distances during endodontic procedures, thereby assisting in canal localization, access cavity evaluation, anatomical documentation, and clinical decision- making. Unlike conventional methods that rely on visual estimation or manual measurement, the proposed instrument provides quantitative measurements with improved precision and consistency. The invention may be utilized in clinical practice, education, research, and documentation of root canal morphology.
