Diagnostic accuracy of different resolutions of cone beam computed tomography imaging system for detection of vertical root fractures in presence of casting posts

ABSTRACT

Objective: The diagnosis of vertical root fracture [VRF] in endodontically treated teeth is a clinical challenge due to lack of specific clinical and radiographic signs. Although radiographic evaluation such as CBCT is helpful, intracanal posts can produce artifacts and may impair the quality of CBCT scans. This study aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of different resolutions of CBCT in detection of VRF in roots with casting post
