discussion in this patient we preferred following up. afterwards, total surgical lesion resection can be performed. after a long-term follow-up, the area may receive an implant. case presentation a 40-year-old female patient presented an opaque lesion at the left mandibular side of face, in a cone-beam computerized tomography (cbct) view, during the implant placement evaluations. the patient ha...

introdouction: cone beam computed tomography (cbct) is a relatively new three-dimensional imaging technology, which has been widely used in dental and maxillofacial imaging. materials and methods: cbct scans of 506 maxillary sinuses of 253 individuals (39.9% male and 60.1% female) were evaluated retrospectively for assessing the relationship between sinus mucosal thickening (mt) and dental and ...

conclusion the cbct may be safe to use in determining root canal wl. because lower radiation dose, a pre-existing cbct can be useful to detect the root canal wl more precisely. results the cbct was the most accurate method to evaluate the root canal wl, with accuracy of 70%. accuracy for the apex locator and periapical radiograph were 40% and 30%, respectively. materials and methods totally, 30...

conclusion the determination of the presence of mb2 in the maxillary first molars may be carried out using cbct scans. if the ∠mdp was 91 degrees or greater, there was considered to be a higher probability that mb2 canals would be found in the endodontic cavity. due to the positive correlation between the ∠mdp and the ∠mdmb2, the localization of mb2 canals may be easily performed in relation to...

abstract background and aim: cone beam computed tomography (cbct) produces high-quality data in periodontal diagnosis and treatment planning. the aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of cbct with intraoral digital and conventional radiography in the measurement of periodontal bone defects.  methods and materials: in this diagnostic research, two hundred and eighteen artificial osseous ...

objectives: to compare the thickness of the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus in individuals with and without teeth to determine if extraction of the teeth can lead to a significant reduction in the thickness of the maxillary sinus lateral wall or not. patients and methods: in a retrospective study on fifty patients with an edentulous space, the thickness of the lateral wall of the maxillary ...

objectives: bone quality and quantity assessment is one of the most important steps in implant treatment planning. different methods such as computed tomography (ct) and recently suggested cone beam computed tomography (cbct) with lower radiation dose and less time and cost are used for bone density assessment. this in vitro study aimed to compare the tissue density values in hounsfield units (...

objectives: this study aimed to evaluate the location and characteristics of mental foramen, anterior loop and mandibular incisive canal using cone beam computed tomography (cbct). materials and methods: this retrospective cross-sectional study evaluated 200 mandibular cbct scans for the location of mental foramen, anterior loop prevalence and mandibular incisive canal visibility, its mean leng...

introduction: vertical root fracture (vrf) is a common failure in endodontically treated teeth. due to vrf’s poor prognosis, a reliable and valid detection method is critical for treatment planning. conventional and digital radiographs are limited in vrf detection. recently, cone beam ct (cbct) system has been introduced. this study aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of these three imagin...

objective: diagnosis of vertical root fractures (vrfs) is critical in endodontics which most of the times occurs in endodontically treated teeth with root canal fillings such as gutta percha. despite cone beam computed tomography (cbct) has significantly enhanced image quality compared to digital radiography (dr) which aid the diagnosis, artifacts has remained as a problem in vrf detection . th...
