by producing undistorted three-dimensional images of the area under examination, cone-beam computed tomography (cbct) systems have met many of the limitations of conventional radiography. these systems produce images with small field of view at low radiation doses with adequate spatial resolution that are suitable for many applications in endodontics from diagnosis to treatment and follow-up. t...

we report a rare case of a two-rooted maxillary central incisor, stressing the importance of three-dimensional imaging in treatment planning and conservative approach of management. endodontic treatment of this central incisor was carried out with a successful outcome.

the aim of this study was to reveal biometric peculiarities of new zealand white rabbit antebrachium (radius and ulna) by means of three-dimensional (3d) reconstruction of multidetector computed tomography (mdct) images. under general anesthesia, the antebrachiums of a total of sixteen rabbits of both sexes were scanned with a general diagnostic mdct. biometric measurements of the reconstructed...

Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a rapidly evolving technology with several potential applications in the diagnosis and management of cardiac disease. Recently, 3D printing (i.e. rapid prototyping) derived from 3D transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has become possible. Due to the multiple steps involved and the specific equipment required for each step, it might be difficult to start impl...

objective: cone beam computed tomography (cbct) is applied for the imaging of the maxillofacial and dental structures, particularly for surgical treatments and dental implants. the aim of this study was to assess the effect of slice thickness on the accuracy of cbct linear measurements. methods: in this diagnostic accuracy study, forty-two titanium pins with the same dimensions were inserted in...

This review provides an overview of digital radiography as it exists, including advanced imaging such as computed tomography (CT), cone beam volumetric imaging, and micro-CT as relevant to the practice of endodontics. An evidence-based approach to adoption of different imaging technologies is included to assist the practitioner with the selection process of imaging modalities. Commonly used ima...

The radiographic image is the bidimensional projection of a tridimensional volume. Interpretation of such an image is sometimes uneasy as we cannot determine ot which level the shadows are located. To dissociate the superimposed shadows, the radiologist may rely on different techniques including fluoroscopy, profile view, radiosteoroscopy, conventional tomography, transverse axial tomography or...

objectives: this study sought to evaluate the accuracy and errors of linear measurements of mesiodistal dimensions of kennedy class iii edentulous space using cone beam computed tomography (cbct) in comparison with clinical measurements. materials and methods: nineteen kennedy class iii dental arches were evaluated. an impression was made of each dental arch and poured with dental stone. the di...
