introduction: the aim of this in vitro study was to compare the canal transportation of two single-file engine-driven systems, neoniti and reciproc, using cone-beam computed tomography (cbct). methods and materials: forty-five non-calcified roots with mature apices and apical curvature of 15-30 degrees were selected from extracted human maxillary molars for this study. samples were randomly div...

introduction: apical transportation changes the physical shape and physiologic environment of the root canal terminus. the aim of the present experimental study was to determine the extent of apical transportation after instrumentation with hand k-flexofile and k3 rotary instruments by means of cone-beam computed tomography (cbct). methods and materials: forty mesiobuccal root canals of maxilla...

introduction: the aim of this study was to identify the root and canal morphology of maxillary first and second molars in iranian population by taking and analyzing cone-beam computed tomography (cbct) scans. methods and materials: extracted maxillary first ( n =125) and second ( n =125) molars were collected from native iranians and scanned by using a cbct scanner. the number of roots and conf...

Panoramic radiography and computed tomography were the pillars of maxillofacial diagnosis. With the advent of cone-beam computed tomography, dental practice has seen a paradigm shift. This review article highlights the potential applications of cone-beam computed tomography in the fields of dental implantology and forensic dentistry, and its limitations in maxillofacial diagnosis.

INTRODUCTION Correct target positioning is crucial for accurate dose delivery in breast radiotherapy resulting in utilisation of daily imaging. However, the radiation dose from daily imaging is associated with increased probability of secondary induced cancer. The aim of this study was to quantify doses associated with three imaging modalities and investigate the correlation of dose and varying...

PURPOSE The study was aimed to compare online 6 degree-of-freedom image registrations of TrueBeam cone-beam computed tomography and BrainLab ExacTrac X-ray imaging systems for intracranial radiosurgery. METHODS Phantom and patient studies were performed on a Varian TrueBeam STx linear accelerator (version 2.5), which is integrated with a BrainLab ExacTrac imaging system (version 6.1.1). The p...

Introduction: Any foramen in the buccal surface of mandibular body that transfers mental nerve and vessels except mental foramen, is called Accessory Mental Foramen (AMF). The objective of this study was the determination of the AMF using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods:  this descriptive study was done on 180 CBCT projections which were selected by convenience samp...
