CE: 1.5

Cone Beam Volumetric Tomography (CBVT) is a diagnostic imaging modality that provides high-quality, accurate three dimensional (3-D) representations of the osseous elements of the maxillofacial skeleton. CBVT has great potential to become a valuable tool in the modern endodontic practice. The different applications of CBVT in diagnosis, treatment planning and long-term outcome evaluation of periapical surgery will be reviewed. Video footage of clinical cases from start to completion will be utilized to demonstrate the 3-D scan evaluation as well as the surgical procedures. Conventional 2-D radiography uses defined criteria for non-surgical and surgical outcome assessment. However, these radiographic healing criteria are not applicable for 3-D radiography. This presentation will focus on how CBCT technology has provided clinicians with a different understanding of the dynamics of endodontic disease as well as healing. Based on the information received from the recall CBCT cases not responding to treatment (non-surgical and surgical) changes in treatment protocols and armamentarium will be presented.
