Radiographic Comparison Using Cbct-Pai And Volumetric Analysis Of Endodontically Treated Teeth: A Retrospective Cohort Study, Jeremy Hargrove

Theses and Dissertations

Purpose: To assess the changes in CBCT-PAI score as well as 3-D volume of periapical findings associated with endodontically treated roots and to see how these findings change over time.

Methods: Retrospective chart review with the following inclusion criteria: 1. At least one tooth was endodontically treated at the endodontic private practice; 2. Patient had a recall examination and the treated tooth was asymptomatic, functional and a CBCT was exposed; 3. CBCT interpretation found a periapical finding associated with the treated tooth; 4. A follow-up recall examination was completed and CBCT exposed. Cases that fulfilled the inclusion criteria had the …

Assessment Of Changes In The Size Of Periapical Radiolucencies 3-12 Months Post Non-Surgical Root Canal Treatment Using Cbct Imaging: A Pilot Study, Jeremy W. Fike Dds

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to assess the changes in size of periapical lesions 3-12 months following root canal treatment using CBCT. Patients who had non-surgical root canal therapy (NSRCT) or non-surgical retreatment (ReTx) from July 30,2014 to August 19, 2015 with a periapical lesion of endodontic origin and received NSRCT or ReTx and had a pre-treatment or intra-treatment CBCT were invited to participate. Volumetric and linear measurements of periapical lesions on initial and post- treatment CBCT images were performed. A total of 20 patients with 23 treated teeth with 30 separate periapical radiolucent lesions returned for follow up …
