Endodontic Length Measurements Using Different Modalities: An In Vitro Study
INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the accuracy of the 3D Endo software, conventional CBCT software Romexis Viewer, and the EAL E-Pex Pro in WL determination. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Three hundred and two root canals in 110 intact human extracted molars were accessed....

description | INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the accuracy of the 3D Endo software, conventional CBCT software Romexis Viewer, and the EAL E-Pex Pro in WL determination. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Three hundred and two root canals in 110 intact human extracted molars were accessed. The actual lengths (ALs) were measured. Root canal lengths were measured using 3D Endo with proposed length (3D-PL) by software, correct length (3D-CL), Romexis Viewer, and the E-Pex Pro. The percentages of the measurements in the range of ±0.5 mm to the AL were compared using the Fisher’s exact test. The paired t test and Bland–Altman plots were calculated to detect the agreement of the four methods with the AL measurements. The statistical significance was set at P<0.05. RESULTS: The accuracies in the range of ±0.5 mm to the AL were 83.8%, 86.7%, 48.3%, and 99.7% for 3D-PL, 3D-CL, Romexis Viewer, and E-PexPro, respectively. There were agreements between 3D-PL and Romexis Viewer with the AL measurements. CONCLUSION: The CBCT measurements using 3D Endo with the proposed length by the software and Romexis Viewer with the voxel size of 0.15 mm agreed with the AL measurements of the root canals. |
