Cross-sectional images in the acquisition (using Xoran CAT™, v. 2.1.11 (Carestream Health Inc., Rochester, NY) software.

5.0 (Anatomage Inc., San Jose, CA) and Kodak Dental Imaging Software 3D module, v. 11.5 (Patterson Dental Supply Inc., St Paul, MN), InVivoDental, v. The data were exported as digital imaging and communications in medicine files and imported into Dolphin Imaging & Management Solutions, v. All teeth were scanned on a cone beam CT device at 0.2 mm nominal voxel resolution (i-CAT Platinum Imaging Sciences International, Hatfield, PA). One-half of the sample of each group was artificially fractured and the segments repositioned.

To evaluate the effect on diagnostic yield in the detection of experimentally induced vertical root fractures on cone beam CT images using four dental software program.ġ90 single-rooted extracted human teeth were divided into three groups according to the pulp canal status: unrestored (UR), filled with gutta-percha (GP) and restored with a metallic custom post (Post).
