Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Radiology
  • Endodontics

Background:

  • Metal artifacts from separated endodontic instruments and obturating materials can obscure details on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans.
  • Accurate detection of separated instruments is crucial for successful endodontic retreatment and preventing complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a novel CBCT post-processing methodology using artifact suppression and color map algorithms for detecting separated endodontic instruments.
  • To compare the efficacy of this new CBCT technique against traditional periapical radiographs (PRs) in identifying separated instruments.

Main Methods:

  • Separated endodontic instruments were placed in 168 root canals filled with various sealers, with 40 canals serving as controls.
  • CBCT scans were acquired, and teeth were analyzed using artifact suppression and color map algorithms for dynamic visualization of potential fragments.
  • Digital periapical radiographs (PRs) were taken in multiple directions and compared with the CBCT findings.

Main Results:

  • CBCT demonstrated significantly superior performance (P < 0.001) in detecting separated instruments compared to PRs.
  • The novel CBCT method, utilizing artifact suppression and color mapping, effectively identified separated instrument fragments in all cases, irrespective of filling material or canal anatomy.
  • Only 32.3% of separated instrument fragments were detected using PRs, highlighting the limitations of conventional radiography.

Conclusions:

  • The combined artifact suppression and color map algorithms with CBCT post-processing software provide an effective solution for visualizing separated endodontic instruments.
  • This advanced CBCT technique offers a significant improvement over periapical radiographs for detecting separated instruments, aiding in endodontic diagnosis and management.
