“…CBCT images overcome the limitations of 2D images including the lack of the buccolingual dimension, masking of areas of interest by overlying anatomy (anatomic noise), and avoiding geometric distortion. A high spatial resolution and true volumetric information can be obtained because of the isotropic nature of CBCT images (16,30). Moreover, it has been shown that dental trauma and developmental anomalies can be better assessed in 3 dimensions (16,(30)(31)(32).…”

Moreover, it has been shown that dental trauma and developmental anomalies can be better assessed in 3 dimensions (16,(30)(31)(32). Nevertheless, CBCT imaging has its own limitation; the effective radiation dose delivered by CBCT devices available in the market varies enormously from around 10-1200 mSv (which is an equivalent of 2-240 panoramic radiographs) (33,34).…”

Introduction: A growing body of evidence supports the regeneration potential of dental tissues after regenerative endodontic treatment (RET). Nevertheless, a standard method for the evaluation of RET outcome is lacking. The aim of this study was to develop a standardized quantitative method for RET outcome analysis based on cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) volumetric measurements. Methods: Five human teeth embedded in mandibular bone samples were scanned using both an Accuitomo 170 CBCT machine (Morita, Kyoto, Japan) and a SkyScan 1174 micro-computed tomographic (mCT) system (SkyScan, Antwerp, Belgium). For subsequent clinical application, clinical data and low-dose CBCT scans (preoperatively and follow-up) from 5 immature permanent teeth treated with RET were retrieved. In vitro and clinical 3-dimensional image data sets were imported into a dedicated software tool. Two segmentation steps were applied to extract the teeth of interest from the surrounding tissue (livewire) and to separate tooth hard tissue and root canal space (level set methods). In vitro and clinical volumetric measurements were assessed separately for differences using Wilcoxon matched pairs test. Pearson correlation analysis and Bland-Altman plots were used to evaluate the relation and agreement between the segmented CBCT and mCT volumes. Results: The results showed no statistical differences and strong agreement between CBCT and mCT volumetric measurements. Volumetric comparison of the root hard tissue showed significant hard tissue formation. (The mean volume of newly formed hard tissue was 27.9 [AE10.5] mm 3 [P < .05]). Conclusions: Analysis of 3-dimensional data for teeth treated with RET offers valuable insights into the treatment outcome and patterns of hard tissue formation. (J Endod 2015;-:1-8)

“…The major advantages of cone beam computed tomography over spiral computed tomography are the reduced radiation exposure and a superior image quality. 7 However, spiral computed tomography scan was used for the diagnosis of present case due to unavailability of cone beam computed tomography in the city at the time when patient reported.…”

“…When the preoperative radiograph and above characteristic clinical examinations under the DOM still cannot make it clear, CBCT should be taken into consideration. It can provide 3-D image and help the clinicians to evaluate the root canal system at different levels [18]. The difficulty of cleaning, shaping and obturation should be the narrow structures such as isthmus, trough and fin.…”
