Radiographic Appearance In order to properly deduce and diagnose, it is imperative for clinicians and researchers to understand and interpret the accuracy and limitations of CBCT diagnostic volumes. In endodontics, periapical radiographs are commonly used to determine...
CBCT Advantages and Limitations As discussed in previous sections, CBCT has been demonstrated to be an advantageous tool in dentistry, and more so in endodontics. This technology has been shown over time to be far superior to periapical conventional radiography. From...
Measuring Defects on CBCT Over time studies have tried to discern the accuracy of CBCT’s ability to measure volume. Measuring the volume of bone defects could be important for clinical evaluations before both orthograde, and surgical endodontic procedures as well as...
Periapical Radiography vs CBCT The advent of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) has revolutionized dental imaging and diagnostic capabilities. here has been a significant amount of research that demonstrates the advantages of CBCT over conventional periapical ...
Digital Radiography The digital era in dentistry has revolutionized the way we practice. Advances in radiologic technology have changed the way we diagnose, treat, and store data. Digital radiography allows for less radiation exposure, less clinical time for...
Radiographic techniques In dentistry, prior to the use of CBCT or digital imaging, conventional radiographic film was the norm. As in any field of science, studies have been carried out to test and determine the best diagnostic tools. For obvious reasons, a...
Understanding Imaging Studies Before we can embark on reviewing current literature on different imaging technologies, it is important to understand the strengths and weaknesses that define them. All portions of the studies need to be assessed: the design of the study,...
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) Uses and Limitations The discussion on CBCT uses can not be complete without a thorough understanding of the technology’s limitations. Many interpretation errors can occur when the clinician has a wide knowledge of the usefulness...
The Accuracy of Cone Beam Computed Tomography Extensive literature has now been published on the anatomical accuracy of CBCT. Prior to initiating any experiment designed to question the perceptual-cognitive abilities of endodontists, the dimensional accuracy of a...
