Abstract

Objective: Three-dimensional cone-beam computed tomography is gaining popularity as an imaging modality aiding the performance of difficult endodontic treatment procedures. For this reason, we assessed the visualization of bioactive furcal perforation repair materials in an ex vivo study using CBCT with different voxel sizes and determined which voxel size yielding the best images with least artefacts. Visualization of endodontic restorative material is affected by the appearance of various artifacts. This study was conducted to evaluate the CBCT visualization of three perforation repair materials using five different voxel sizes.
