Outline of Final Research Achievements

The diagnosis of a VRF is confirmed by the observation of a fracture line. Lesions resulting from VRFs can be distinguished from those of non-VRFs on 3D CBCT images with a high degree of accuracy by comparing the volume of bone defects in VRFs with those in non-VRFs on reconstructed three-dimensional (3D) models using pre-operative CBCT images. The ability of optical coherence tomographic (OCT) imaging to detect root canals and pulp chambers was investigated. According to the observation of the maxillary molars, second mesiobuccal canals (MB2) were able to detect by OCT. A combination of OCT and dental operating microscope may improve the rate and accuracy of the detection of MB2 canals. To evaluate the ability of cone-beam computed tomography to detect periapical lesions that could not be detected with periapical radiography, 178 endodontically treated teeth were examined. The result suggests that such lesions tend to exist at maxillary incisor/canine and maxillary molar regions.
