Abstract

Aim The aim of this study was to determine the positional relationship between the crown contour and the pulp chamber as well as the morphological characteristics of the pulp chamber using micro-CT in order to plan, in restorations of deciduous maxillary second molars, reconstructions with a volumetric rendering programme.
