“…All studies included patients with apical periodontitis which were documented via CBCT. They reported the measured volume of periapical lesions: two studies combined the volumetric measurements of periapical lesions, as well as those of the maxillary sinus mucosa [ 3 , 20 ], whereas eleven studies used CBCT to measure the apical lesion volume solely to distinguish healing outcomes and/or compare it with other dental imaging techniques [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 21 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 ], two studies used the measured volume to evaluate the accuracy of periapical indices [ 13 , 18 ], and one study compared CBCTPAVI index to the sphericity of the lesions [ 19 ]. The key point investigated was the volumetric determination of apical lesions and their alteration in size and dimension after successful endodontic treatment in different follow-up time spans, alongside the comparison of accuracy between 3D and 2D radiographic measurements in dentistry.…”

“…In the majority of publications, the CBCT apparatus was used in mostly different ways; however, in four studies, I-CAT was used [ 12 , 13 , 53 , 54 ]. Voltage varied from 60–120 kV, and the current ranged from 2 to 15 mA.…”

This systematic review aimed to investigate the scientific literature on volumetric studies concerning the diagnosis and treatment of apical periodontitis using CBCT. A systematic review protocol was written following the preferred reporting items for the systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) checklist. Four electronic databases were searched for relevant publications in English, which were published up to 21 January 2023. The inclusion criteria and corresponding search keys were applied. The risk of bias was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Meta-Analysis of Statistic Assessment and Review Instrument. The search strategy identified 202 studies, with 123 studies excluded during the title and abstract screening and 47 studies left for full text screening. A total of 17 studies met the inclusion criteria. The lesion volume was measured and classified according to different indices which compared the effectiveness of their diagnostics. Moreover, the volume of AP lesions increased with the thickness of the maxillary sinus mucosa in primary and secondary infections and decreased due to endodontic treatment. Volumetric measurements using CBCT are useful in the correct definition of periapical tissue pathosis using a CBCT periapical volume index and assessment of the dynamics of the treatment of apical lesions.

Background/purpose Acemannan is an osteoinductive material. This study's objective was to compare the outcomes of bone defect healing using 3-dimensional images after apical surgery with or without adding acemannan sponges. Materials and methods Twenty-two anterior teeth from 9 males and 13 females requiring apical surgery were included in this randomized controlled trial. Post-surgery, the bone defects were randomly divided into three groups: blood clot control, 5-, or 10-mg acemannan sponge groups. CBCT scans were taken immediately (baseline), 3-, 6-, and 12-month post-surgery. Sagittal serial sections (1 mm thick slices parallel to the long axis of the tooth) of the defect image were created. The defect boundary was located and the total bone defect volume (BDV) was calculated from the sum of the volume of the serial defect sections. The bone healing was assessed by the percentage of total bone defect volume reduction (%ΔBDV). The paired t-test and one-way ANOVA were used to analyze the differences within each group and between groups, respectively. Results The baseline mean BDV of the control, 5-, and 10-mg acemannan groups were not significantly different ( p > 0.05). After treatment, the mean BDV for each group was reduced in a time-dependent manner. Compared with the control group, the 5- and 10-mg acemannan groups had a significantly greater %ΔBDV (approximately 2- and 1.89-fold) at 3-months post-surgery, respectively ( p < 0.05). However, at the 6- and 12- month follow-up, the %ΔBDV was not significantly different between the groups. Conclusion These data suggest acemannan enhanced early bone healing after apical surgery.
