Print and try technique: 3D-printing of teeth with complex anatomy a novel endodontic approach

The purpose of this report is to evaluate the applicability of a novel Print and Try technique in the presence of aberrant endodontic anatomies and to achieve a predictable treatment with improved outcome. According to guidelines, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is recommended in the presence of complex anatomies. The volumes were utilized to produce a stereo lithographic (STL) file, from which a 3D-plastic tooth model including a hollow root canal system was obtained. The 3D-patient-specific model facilitates the treatment planning and the trial of therapeutic approaches.

A preliminary assessment of a new dedicated endodontic software for use with CBCT images to evaluate the canal complexity of mandibular molars

Aim To investigate in vivo the complexity of canals
within mesial roots of mandibular molars using 3D
EndoTM software linked to CBCT images.
Methodology The CBCT images of 100 mandibular
first molars were analysed using the 3D EndoTM
software. The number of canals in the mesial roots,
the presence of apical confluences, the canal lengths
and the canal configurations using Vertucci’s classification
were evaluated in buccolingual (BL) and
mesiodistal (MD) views. The software allowed the

The characteristics of adjacent anatomy of mandibular third molar germs: a CBCT pilot study in patients with Osteogenesis Imperfecta

(1) Objectives: The aim of our study was to investigate the anatomical features of lower third molar and its adjacent anatomical connections in type I Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) patients through cone beam computed tomography (cbct). (2) Methods: The study was conducted among 25 patients, 13 patients with type I OI and 12 control patients (individuals with no disorders and no treatment); average age was 15.44 ± 2.06, 23 third molar germs for each group. The germs have been compared to the parameters using the Mann-Whitney test.
