Estudio morfológico de los canales radiculares del Primer Premolar superior, utilizando radiografía Periapical y tomografía de haz cónico, en el centro radiológico dental-maxilofacial, cuenca 2015

Abstract

The CBCT (cone beam computed tomography) is a breakthrough in imaging. It is based on the reconstruction of 3D images for a more accurate diagnosis. This study aims to study the morphology of the root canal of the maxillary first premolar, using periapical radiography and cone beam tomography.

The type of study is in vitro, descriptive and cross-sectional sample is for convenience, because we do not have a specific population to guide us, so we selected 50 teeth (first premolars Institutions), extracted for orthodontic reasons. The images obtained by intra oral radiographs reveal information in two dimensions, limiting us to the diagnosis. In certain situations where the three-dimensional visualization of an endodontic problem is necessary. The result of this study indicates that accurate data radiographically morphology parts duct presenting one or two separate roots are obtained, being the most effective use of tomography parts for describing a more complex system of ducts.
