AIM To report the use of cone beam computed tomography in the assessment of external cervical resorption lesions. SUMMARY Asymptomatic external cervical resorption lesions were diagnosed radiographically in two patients. Clinical examination in both cases was unremarkable. Cone beam computed tomography scans revealed the true nature of the lesions in three dimensions. The resorption lesion in...

surgical procedure for removal of impacted teeth is a challenge for clinicians as it involves accuracy in the diagnosis and localization of the dental elements. the cone-beam computed tomography (cbct), compared to the conventional radiography, has a greater potential to provide complementary information because of its three-dimensional (3d) images, reducing the possibility of failures in surgi...
