the aim of this case report was to present a case of multiple idiopathic apical root resorption which is a rare condition in a 17-year-old adult male. external root resorption of the permanent teeth is a multifactorial process. well-recognized causes of apical root resorption in permanent teeth include orthodontic therapy, trauma, periapical or periodontal inflammation, tumors, cysts, occlusal ...

a 20-year-old man presented with the history of pain and swelling in the anterior maxillary segment. the periapical radiography was indicative of a dental anomaly in right maxillary lateral incisor. due to the insufficient information from conventional radiography, cone-beam computed tomography (cbct) was ordered. cbct showed apical root resorption, large apical lucency and two separate canals ...

introduction: the aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic value of cone-beam computed tomography (cbct) and periapical (pa) radiography in detecting internal root resorption. methods and materials: eighty single rooted human teeth with visible pulps in pa radiography were split mesiodistally along the coronal plane. internal resorption like lesions were created in three areas (cervical,...

objectives: this study sought to assess the diagnostic accuracy of cone beam computed tomography (cbct) with different voxel sizes and intraoral digital radiography with photostimulable phosphor (psp) plate for detection of periapical (pa) bone lesions. materials and methods: in this ex vivo diagnostic study, one-millimeter defects were created in the alveolar sockets of 15 bone blocks, each wi...

i ntroduction: vertical root fracture (vrf) is the longitudinal fracture of the root in endodontically treated teeth. considering the limitations of two-dimensional radiographic images in detection of vrf and introduction of cone-beam computed tomography (cbct), this study was designed to find the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of cbct and periapical (pa) radiography in detection of vrfs...

A 20-year-old man presented with the history of pain and swelling in the anterior maxillary segment. The periapical radiography was indicative of a dental anomaly in right maxillary lateral incisor. Due to the insufficient information from conventional radiography, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was ordered. CBCT showed apical root resorption, large apical lucency and two separate canals ...

This study compared periapical (PA) radiography and cone-beam tomography (CBT) for preoperative diagnosis in posterior maxillary teeth of consecutive patients referred for possible apical surgery. Images were concurrently analyzed by an oral radiologist and an endodontist to reach consensus in interpretation of the radiographic findings. The final material included 37 premolars and 37 molars wi...
