Precise diagnosis of the teeth root canal system using 3D CT

Abstract

The quality of root canal treatment remains an important issue largely due to the structure of the root canal system. The use of cone-beam computed tomography in the practice of a dentist simplifies endodontic treatment. Choice of treatment strategy and system of instruments caused by the initial data of 3D CT scan. However, the results of the study revealed structural features that are not visualized on the original computer image. The priority sealing technique of anatomically complex root canal is identified.
