Summary: The study compared conventional radiographic and CBCT findings in endodontic treatment, finding that CBCT provided more information on periapical lesions, missed canals, root fractures, and complex anatomy. CBCT was mainly used to assist surgical treatment planning, significantly altering initial diagnoses and treatment plans based on periapical radiographs.

Summary: This study aimed to classify 10 cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) devices based on their ability to detect fine endodontic structures. The results showed that these devices performed differently for different endodontic tasks, with only a few devices maintaining a high level of detection capability in the presence of metal.

Summary: The study results indicate that the expression and direction of artefacts produced in the vicinity of metal posts vary according to the mandibular region, composition of the post, and CBCT unit.

Summary: The purpose of this ex vivo study was to determine the accuracy of template-based guided endodontics for access cavity preparation and root canal detection in posterior teeth. A total of 135 main root canals were detected utilizing guided endodontics, with a mean angle deviation of 1.4 degrees and mean deviations at the tip and base of the bur ranging from 0.24-0.31 mm and 0.26-0.29 mm, respectively. This study demonstrated that guided endodontics is an accurate and predictable method for endodontic access cavity preparation in posterior teeth.

Summary: This study evaluated the diagnostic efficacy and risk of bias of CBCT imaging in endodontics. A total of 22 studies were included, and the results showed that the evidence for the influence of CBCT on decision making and treatment outcomes in endodontics is predominantly based on studies with a high risk of bias.

Summary: The study evaluated the prevalence of missed canals in endodontically treated maxillary molars through CBCT images and found that MB2 was the most frequently missed canal, associated with the presence of periapical lesions.

Summary: The study revealed that as the position of posterior teeth became more posterior, the buccolingual dimension of the roots increased, the buccal bone thickness increased, and the distance to the mandibular canal became shorter. Contact was the most common relationship between the buccal cortical bone and root in the mesial root of the first molars and first premolars.

Summary: This study evaluated the prevalence of the middle mesial canal (MMC) in the mandibular first molar (M1M) using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images from 15 countries. The prevalence of MMC varied significantly among different countries, but there were no significant differences based on gender or age groups.

Summary: This study evaluated the accuracy of an optimized CBCT protocol for the detection of intraoperative endodontic complications. The results showed that there were no significant differences in accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve between the dose protocols, regardless of the presence of metallic materials.

Summary: This preliminary study found that the diagnostic accuracy and sensitivity of CBCT in detecting VRF in teeth filled with gutta-percha and metal post were significantly improved when combining images obtained at different orientations.

Summary: The aim of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of a novel augmented reality (AR) method for guided access cavity preparation in 3D-printed jaws. Two operators with different levels of experience performed virtually guided access cavities using an AR system on 3D-printed jaw models. The results show promising results for the use of AR as a digital guide in endodontics, but further research and development may be needed.

Summary: This study retrospectively investigated the facial alveolar bone thickness and fenestration rate of maxillary premolars using CBCT. The results showed that the FAB thicknesses are lower in the first premolar than the second premolar. The prevalence of fenestration in maxillary premolars was higher in the Turkish subpopulation than in other populations.

Summary: This proof-of-concept study demonstrates the feasibility and potential use of 3D-printed metal surgical guides in endodontic microsurgery procedures. The metal guides offer advantages over traditional resin guides with their open-frame structure and stability. The study evaluated the accuracy of the new 3D-printed surgical metal guides in a simulation model based on a pig jaw, showing promising results despite some observed deviations.
