Özet
The precise diagnosis of dental root fractures in clinical practice is quite difficultObjective: Accurate diagnosis of dental root fractures in clinical practice is quite challenging. Here, we aimed to compare results of three-dimensional cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and conventional intraoral radiography images for diagnosing dental root fractures. Methods: Fifty maxillary central teeth with healthy roots were included in this experiment. Ten teeth were subjected to a single blow in a laboratory to produce cracks, whereas horizontal root fractures with varying degrees of gaps between the fractured segments were created in 40 teeth. The teeth were divided into five equal groups: teeth with crack; teeth with root fractures without gaps; and teeth with root fractures with 0.2-, 0.4-, and 0.6-mm gaps between the fractured segments. CBCT and conventional intraoral radiography images were evaluated by 30 dentists. The mean diagnostic accuracy for detection of root fracture and the positive predictive value were calculated forboth diagnostic modalities. Results: The mean diagnostic accuracy with the use of CBCT images was significantly better than that with the use of traditional intraoral radiography images. Conclusion: CBCT allows for more detailed characterization of root fractures and cracks than traditional intraoral radiography.
