| R Christiansen et al. [51] |
2009 |
50 patients , 58 teeth |
Periapical radiography and cone beam computed tomography forassessment of the periapical bone defect 1 week and 12 months after root-end resection |
More remaining defects were detected 1 year after periapical surgery on CBCT
images than on periapicalradiographs |

68 mandibular canals |
Comparison Between Digital PanoramicRadiography and Cone-Beam ComputedTomography for the Identification of theMandibular Canal |
The CBCT reformatted panoramic images outperformed the digital panoramic images in the
identification of the mandibular canal |

12 Human mandibles |
Comparison of cone-beam computed tomography and direct measurement in the examination of the mandibular canal and adjacent structures |
Can be used to measure distances from the apices of the posterior teeth to the mandibular canal as accurately as direct anatomic dissection |

Case report |
Cone beam computed tomography evaluation of the diagnosis, treatment planning, and long-term followup of large periapical lesions treated by endodontic surgery
|
It was concluded that CBCT was a useful modality in making the diagnosis and treatment plan and assessing the outcome of endodontic surgery for large periapical lesions. |
