Tuy's cone-beam inversion formula was modified to develop a cone-beam reconstruction algorithm. The algorithm was implemented for a cone-beam vertex orbit consisting of a circle and two orthogonal lines. This orbit geometry satisfies the cone-beam data sufficiency condition and is easy to implement on commercial single photon emission computed tomography (PECT) systems. The algorithm, which con...

Background and Aim: Bone density is of great assistance in the selection of the proper implant site. The present study aimed to assess the correlation between tissue densities in computed tomography (CT) and three different cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) units. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, a radiographic phantom consisting of a transparent polymethyl methacrylate (PM...

Conventional radiographs used for the management of endodontic problems yield limited information because of the two-dimensional nature of images produced, geometric distortion and anatomical noise. This newer review paper seeks to clarify three-dimensional imaging techniques that have been suggested as adjuncts to conventional radiographs. These include tuned aperture computed tomography, magn...

introduction: an overlooked but important part of successful root canal treatment is a straight-line access (sla). the purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the efficacy of introfile and prerace rotary instruments with gates glidden (gg) drills in gaining sla by cone-beam computed tomography (cbct). methods and materials: a total of forty five extracted mandibular first molars were sele...

Two female patients presented with multiple radiolucent lesions noted on panoramic radiography. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans confirmed “punched-out” affecting the skull.

background: the aim of this study was to evaluate apical transportation and centering ability of single-fi le instruments, waveone primary, with full rotation versus reciprocation movement using cone-beam computed tomography (cbct) analysis in curved mesiobuccal (mb) root canal of human mandibular molars. materials and methods: thirty mb canals of mandibular molars were randomly divided into tw...

background: cone-beam computed tomography (cbct) is a new imaging technology that has been widely used in implantology, oral and maxillofacial surgery and orthodontics. this method provides 3-d images that are composed of voxel, which is the smallest image unit, and determines image resolution. smaller voxel is associated with the higher resolution and also greater radiation exposure. this stud...

Introduction: Knowledge of the presence of the alveolar antral artery in the lateral maxillary sinus wall is essential for surgeons who operate in this region. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between alveolar antral artery diameter and lateral maxillary bony wall thickness in dentate patients.   Materials and Methods: Thirty five Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)...
