A grading system for pulp canal calcification based upon 3-D imaging to aid in assessment of case difficulty in orthograde endodontic treatment.
This article describes a novel grading system for quantifying potential difficulty in locating and instrumenting root canals where there is evidence of calcification. The system is based upon limited field of view cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) which is an essential tool in the diagnosis and treatment of the calcified canal. The new grading system considers the vertical level at which the canal becomes radiographically evident (coronal, middle or apical), the length of patent canal, and whether the canal is patent at the terminus. At present there is no classification for canal calcification and no means of categorizing a canal in terms of the potential difficulty/feasibility involved in treating it.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Endodontics, the official journal of the American Association of Endodontists, publishes scientific articles, case reports and comparison studies evaluating materials and methods of pulp conservation and endodontic treatment. Endodontists and general dentists can learn about new concepts in root canal treatment and the latest advances in techniques and instrumentation in the one journal that helps them keep pace with rapid changes in this field.
