AIM The purpose of this report is to present a case of endodontic management of a dilacerated maxillary central incisor fused to supernumerary tooth unusually appearing as a labial tubercle using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) as a diagnostic aid. BACKGROUND Anterior teeth are commonly encountered with aberrant anatomical variations in the crown, number of roots, and root canals. Fusion...

central granular cell odontogenic tumor) cgcot) of the jaw is an exceedingly rare benign odontogenic neoplasm with 35 reported cases in the literature. among these, very few studies have focused on the cone-beam ct features of cgcot. here, we report a case of an asymptomatic cgcot in a 16-year-old girl and focus on the cone-beam ct features. only 36 cases of this lesion, including this one, hav...

this case report presents an eight-year-old girl having periauricular swelling and severe pain during mouth opening on the right-side temporomandibular joint (tmj). cbct showed extensive destruction of the base of the skull and the roof of the glenoid fossa on the right side. the findings based on ct and mri images with and without contrast are discussed herein. this report highlights a skull b...

conclusions: detailed information about root fractures may be obtained using cbct. results: according to the fracture types and fracture presence, there was an overall statistically significant agreement between the key and readings. kappa values for intra observer agreement ranged between 0.705 and 0.804 indicating that each observer gave acceptable ratings for the type and presence of fractur...

introdouction: cone-beam computed tomography (cbct) scanning is a technological innovation developed in recent years with potential use in oral surgery and many other dental procedures. the aim of this study is to determine the maxillary sinus mucosal thickening in the maxillary premolar-molar area using the cbct technique. materials and methods: in this retrospective study, a total of 105 case...

BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to identify the number of root canals and examine root canal morphology of permanent mandibular incisors in an Indian sub-population of Pune, Maharashtra, India using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). MATERIAL/METHODS This study was conducted at Elite CBCT & Dental Diagnostics, Pune. One hundred mandibular incisors were evaluated for the number of root,...

Precise localization of the third molars in relation to the inferior alveolar nerve canal is critical from a clinical point of view and strongly affects the surgical treatment outcome. Recently, by using threedimensional modeling software, the relationship of third molar root apices and inferior alveolar nerve canal can be better understood. In this study, the spatial relationship of two surgic...

CONTEXT AND AIMS The purpose of this study was to compare and evaluate the shaping ability of ProTaper (PT) and Self-Adjusting File (SAF) system using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) to assess their performance in oval-shaped root canals. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-two mandibular premolars with single oval canals were divided into two experimental groups (n = 31) according to the system...
