“…Moreover, the pulp may lose its vitality as a result of dental trauma and this may alter the volume of the pulp chamber and root canal. The use of CBCT may help to prevent accidental pulp exposure in clinical practice (14). According to Patel et al (15) the roots of the posterior maxillary teeth and their periapical tissues can be visualized separately and in all three orthogonal planes without superimposition of the overlying zygomatic buttress, alveolar bone, and adjacent roots.…”

Objectives: Cone-beam dental computerize tomography (CBCT), a noninvasive imaging method, was used to image the pulp-dentin complex. Pulp changes histologically with aging. While many studies have investigated the histological changes in pulp, few studies have focused on the changes in the shape of the root canals. This study evaluated the changes in the root canals with aging of central superior teeth using CBCT. Study Design: The study examined 100 non-carious maxillary central teeth. These teeth were divided into five groups according to the age of the patients: Group A:15-24, Group B: 25-34, Group C: 35-44, Group D: 45-54 and Group E: 55 years and older. CBCT was used to determine root length, and pulp width at the cervical, apical 1/2, and apical 1/3. Results: On comparing the groups using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), the root length did not differ (P > 0.05), while the pulp width at the cervical, apical 1/2, and apical 1/3 differed between the groups (P < 0.001). Conclusions: The pulp length did not change with aging, while the pulp width did change. CBCT can be used to determine the precise root length and width, to prevent iatrogenic exposure of the apex, complementing existing methods. This will improve the prediction of the prognosis of root canal treatment.

“…2C, the intact pulp chamber was distinctly visualized on the SS-OCT image, which is in agreement with the findings of previous studies. 15,16 A series of SS-OCT images depicting the depth increments of the developing laser crater and its position relative to the pulp chamber is shown in Fig. 2D and E. Figure 2F shows an image of the breached convex surface of the hard tissue, which was verified visually and with 3D micro-CT as a pulp exposure (Fig.…”

Fonseca et al 15 and Braz et al 16 visualized the pulp space under different thicknesses of dentin and pulp-dentin complex. Bakhsh et al 10 successfully defined resin-dentin interface gaps on OCT images.…”

Contemporary Advanced Methods for Early Caries Detection and Diagnosis

Nowadays it is apparent that the conventional methods for early caries detection do not fulfill the criteria for the ideal clinical methods (and also to be used in scientific studies). In this regard they are subjective and insensitive. In this point it is of paramount importance to develop novel detecting techniques, which will be promising quantitative detecting methods of early caries lesions. In this assumption there are new technologies and devices for detection and diagnosis of dental lesions at their early stages of formation, evaluating their activity with higher sensitivity and specificity. Some of these devices are developed and commercially available, others are still under development. Consequently, there some creative contemporary methods and devices with great theoretical impact and exceptional practical preferences as diagnostic techniques and methods are presented: i/ the technique of optical coherence tomography (OCT), ii/ polarized Raman spectroscopy (PRS).
