CBCT technology has grown rapidly to allow clinicians to acquire high resolution images of the teeth and craniofacial bones, using relatively low radiation doses. CBCT imaging has several applications in dento-maxillofacial diagnosis including endodontic diagnosis and treatment planning, implant treatment planning, surgical and orthodontic treatment planning, evaluation of the paranasal sinuses, temporomandibular joints, intraosseous pathology, impacted tooth, etc. Because of its higher specificity and sensitivity in relationship to hard tissue pathoses when compared to 2D imaging, this...

Cone beam computed tomography is a new era in three dimensional world, modified from the computed tomography (CT) concept, involving the single rotation of an X-ray source around the dental subject. The data are analysed and reconstructed using a CT-based algorithm to create a volume of data, which can be viewed in three planes (axial, sagittal and coronal) and multiple alternative planes on manipulation of the data Acquisition of image is rapid and uses technology, which is becoming relatively affordable. A three-dimensional visualization of the region of interest is obtained in sufficient...

Die Nanotechnologie ist bereits ein Bereich von großer Bedeutung für die Behandlung von Mundkrankheiten, und ihre therapeutische Anwendung bei der Wurzelkanalbehandlung wird in den kommenden Jahren zunehmen. Es ist jedoch anzumerken, dass es sich bei den meisten Forschungsarbeiten zu zahnmedizinischen Nanomaterialien um In-vitro-Studien handelt. Es gibt nur wenige Veröffentlichungen, die über die Auswirkungen von Nanomaterialien in vivo berichten, und in einigen Fällen ist die Verbesserung, die sich aus der Anwendung von Nanopartikeln ergibt, minimal oder nicht eindeutig. Das Fehlen...

La nanotechnologie est déjà un domaine de grande importance dans le traitement des maladies bucco-dentaires et son application thérapeutique dans le traitement canalaire va augmenter dans les années à venir. Cependant, il convient de noter que la plupart des recherches sur les nanomatériaux dentaires sont des études in vitro. Peu de publications font état de l'impact des nanomatériaux in vivo, et dans certains cas, l'amélioration résultant de l'application de nanoparticules est minime ou ambiguë. Le manque d'études fiables et à long terme, tant dans le modèle animal que dans...

Nanotechnology is already a field of great importance in the treatment of oral diseases and that its therapeutic application in root canal treatment will increase in the coming years. However, it should be noted that most of the research on dental nanomaterials is in vitro studies. There are few publications reporting the impact of nanomaterials in vivo, and in some cases the improvement resulting from the application of nanoparticles is minimal or ambiguous. The lack of reliable and long-term studies, both in the animal model and in clinical trials with patients, is a challenge and requires...
