The outcome of root canal treatments and retreatments assessed with CBCT: what is changing in clinical practice?
The outcome of endodontic treatments is conventionally assessed using periapical radiographs, however in the last 6 years at least 6 outcome studies have used Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) for the same purpose. These studies have shown a significantly lower success rate compared to that normally observed with periapical radiographs and more importantly they have provided new information which can significantly affect the management of endodontic infection. This lecture will summarize the finding of the CBCT outcome studies published so far and will also include some in press data on outcome studies comparing different endodontic instrumentation techniques and single vs two visit endodontics in relation to primary treatments and retreatments.A new approach to the decision making on the restorability of teeth will also be presented Aims and objectives: At the end of this lecture the delegates will be able to interpret CBCT images commonly used for the diagnosis of endodontic disease including external cervical, internal resorption and root fractures. The delegates will also be able to use the new DPI score for the evaluation of tooth restorability.
