CBCT Indications in endodontics include:
- pre-op analysis
- post-op evaluation
Examples of pre-op analysis in endodontics in which a CBCT may be indicated include:
- complex surgical cases
- assessment of root canal anatomy
- proximity of apex to anatomical structure
Examples of post-op evaluation in endodontics in which a CBCT may be indicated include:
- documenting success of treatment
- evaluating healing
T/F: A CBCT may aid in assessing calcified canals and the need for apicoectomy
True
When using a surgical guide designed exclusively for endo, the guide must be:
fully seated on both sides
If the lesion has extended through cortical bone it becomes clear:
where to access the apex of the root
T/F: when you raise a flap it is always a clearly visible lesion
False- sometimes there is not a clearly visible lesion after you raise a flap
If you have a calcified #8, describe the requirements for endo treatment planning:
- STL of intraoral scan
- DICOM volume of the site
