Influence of Cone‐Beam Computed Tomography filters on diagnosis of simulated endodontic complications

Abstract

The filters did not improve the diagnosis of the simulated endodontic complications evaluated. Their diagnosis remains a major challenge in clinical practice.

Ability to detect endodontic complications using three different cone beam computed tomography units with and without artefact reduction modes: an ex vivo study

“…, Verner et al . ). Common issues studied were instrument fracture, perforation and over‐ or underfilling of the root canal.…”

“…The diagnostic efficacy of CBCT imaging in complex endodontic situations has been evaluated (D'Addazio et al 2010, Shemesh et al 2011, Eskandarloo et al 2012, Rosen et al 2016, Verner et al 2016. Common issues studied were instrument fracture, perforation and over-or underfilling of the root canal.…”

Effectiveness of Using a Mobile App to Improve Dental Students’ Ability to Identify Endodontic Complications from Periapical Radiographs

“…1 The main cause could be a result of inadequate root canal illing, extravasation of illing materials into the periapical region, poor coronal sealing, or non-instrumented root canals (primary and accessory). 7 Endodontic complications represent a challenge to the dental practitioner, making early diagnosis crucial. 1,2 Non-microbial factors leading to failure of endodontic treatment include iatrogenic errors such as over-instrumentation, root canal perforation, and instrument fracture, 2 root fracture, 3 internal and external root resorption, 4-6 and post deviation.…”

“…Adequate cleaning and shaping are essential to eliminate microorganisms and ensure successful treatment. [7][8][9] Previous studies investigating image diagnosis of endodontic complications have noted that radiographic evaluations are typically performed by oral radiology and/or endodontic specialists. 7 Endodontic complications represent a challenge to the dental practitioner, making early diagnosis crucial.…”

“…1,2 Non-microbial factors leading to failure of endodontic treatment include iatrogenic errors such as over-instrumentation, root canal perforation, and instrument fracture, 2 root fracture, 3 internal and external root resorption, 4-6 and post deviation. 3,7,[9][10][11] However, no studies have assessed the ability of dental students to diagnose endodontic complications, an important subject in terms of optimizing learning efectiveness and thus patient care. Imaging examinations, including periapical radiograph examinations, play an important role in the development of appropriate treatment plans and increase the likelihood that afected teeth may be retained in the dental arch.…”
