Visualization features of canalis sinuosus with cone beam computed tomography.

Introduction: One of the key stages of evaluating an edentulous ridge prior to dental implant placement is the analysis of neighboring anatomical structures such as canalis sinuosus (CS) with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). CBCT visualization has its own features, such as the change of slice thickness. The aim of the study was to analyze CS prevalence in relation to the slice thickness and CS diameter according to CBCT scans.

Second Mesiobuccal Canal Evaluation Features with Cone-Beam Computed Tomography.

Aim: The aim of the study is to evaluate the difference in MB2 prevalence with different slice thicknesses in maxillary first molars.

Materials And Methods: Two hundred nonfilled MB2 canals in maxillary first molars of 156 people (75 females and 81 males) aged from 20 to 73 years old were evaluated with CBCT with different slice thicknesses: 0.5 mm, 1 mm, 3 mm, and 10 mm.
