Imaginologic resources used in diagnosis of root resorptions: comparative study

ABSTRACT Objective: Compare the accuracy of early diagnosis simulated internal root resorptions and external resorption, using digital periapical radiography cone beam computed tomography. Methods: Root resorption were in extracted human teeth by demineralization with 5% nitric acid solution 8% Sodium Hypochlorite different periods (1 5 days). For group (n=12) composite resin cylinders positioned on middle third buccal surface roots, to delimit application substances. In sectioned longitudinally, canals. The mounted a dry mandible evaluated images two examiners. Results: Analyzing tomographic period 1 day, examiner 2 identified that not radiographic (p<0.05). No was capable diagnosing irrespective exam, day (p>0.05). induction, both exams (p>0.05), however, more effective identifying (p <0.05) for Conclusion: Cone tomography shown be than detecting induction. imaginological resources used this study able detect resorption.
