Study Shows CBCT Improves Endodontic Access Cavity Preparation Outcomes

Posted: January 1, 2025
A study investigated the impact of using cone beam CT (CBCT) imaging on outcomes of endodontic access cavity preparation, using 3D-printed maxillary first molars in a simulated clinical setting. Results showed that CBCT imaging led to significant reductions in cavity volume and procedural times, improved location of the MB2 canal in non-complex teeth, and increased operator confidence. This benefit was more pronounced for experienced operators. CBCT was found to be particularly helpful for teeth with non-complex anatomy and skilled practitioners.
