Abstract
Comparison of the Diagnostic Accuracy of Digital Intraoral Radiography with PSP and CBCT in the Detection of Horizontal and Vertical Dental Root Fractures
Highlights
Root fracture is among the most common causes of endodontic treatment failures. [1,2] Clinical and radiographic diagnoses of dental root fractures have always been difficult
The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of intraoral digital radiography (PSP) and Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) in the detection of horizontal root fracture (HRF) and vertical root fracture (VRF)
Dental root fractures have become detectable since two-dimensional radiography was implemented in dentistry in 1896.(5, 6) Nowadays, intraoral radiography with Photostimulable Phosphor Plate (PSP) is being used for detection of root fracture as a digital intraoral radiography method.[7]. Conventional two-dimensional radiography can be completed with a third view
Summary
Root fracture is among the most common causes of endodontic treatment failures. [1,2] Clinical and radiographic diagnoses of dental root fractures have always been difficult. [2,3] Overall, dental root fractures comprise 0.5 to 7% of the injuries that inflict the permanent dentition.[2] Horizontal and vertical root fractures (HRF and VRF) are difficult to detect due to the challenges in diagnosis and tracing on intraoral radiographs, except when definite clinical findings exist. The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of intraoral digital radiography (PSP) and CBCT in the detection of horizontal root fracture (HRF) and vertical root fracture (VRF). Conclusion: CBCT method has higher specificity and sensitivity in the detection of HRF and VRF compared with intraoral digital radiography
