Purpose: The systematic review aims to analyze the diagnostic performance of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) to the diagnose of internal root resorption (IRR).
Material and method: For the systematic review, a diagnostic test accuracy protocol was used following P.R.I.S.M.A. guidelines. A comprehensive electronic search of 3 electronic databases (PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar) was performed. These databases were searched combinations of the following terms: Cone Beam computed Tomography, CBCT, micro-CT, micro-computed tomography, and internal root resorption. The eligibility criteria were designed problem-intervention-comparison-outcomes (PICO) statement, and methodological quality was assessed by QUADAS-2.
Results: Eight articles, which met inclusion criteria, were included from a total of 1821 articles in the systematic review. For diagnosis with CBCT IRR sensitivity ranged from 57-63% to 100%, while specificity was between 76% and 100%. For diagnosis with periapical radiography IRR sensitivity was ranged from 47-64% to 74-86%, while specificity was between 73-77% and 96%. In the majority of studies, the risk of bias was low, and applicability concerns were high.
Conclusion: The present systematic review suggests that the diagnostic performance of CBCT is sufficient for the diagnosis of IRR. It was observed that CBCT images performed better than periapical radiography in the detection of IRR.
