    Study Notes

    Modern Techniques in Endodontic Surgery and Imaging

    • Use of magnification, illumination, and microsurgery greatly improves prognosis in periradicular surgery
    • Microscopes provide detailed examination of root apex and anatomic features
    • Well-angulated periapical films reveal three-dimensional morphology of the tooth and identify anatomic complexities
    • Digital radiography enhances radiographic diagnostics in identifying anatomical complexities
    • 3-D cone beam-computed tomography (CBCT) images periapical lesions and anatomical structures in axial, coronal, and sagittal sections
    • CBCT scans produce images with excellent contrast and clarity and low radiation exposure to the patient
    • 3-D imaging accurately defines type and extent of complex diagnoses such as internal or external resorption
    • 3-D imaging facilitates assessment of periradicular lesions in multirooted teeth and differentiating them from nonodontogenic pathoses
    • 3-D imaging reveals accessory canals, location of root canals, and canal obstructions
    • Ultrasonic systems, in conjunction with magnification, eliminate the bulky head of the conventional handpiece during difficult access procedures
    • Ultrasonic instruments with abrasive coatings precisely excavate dentin when exploring for mineralized canals or removing mineralized obstructions
    • Root canal shapes need to withstand internal compressive forces of obturation and provide sufficient resistance form for mastication and parafunction
