Endodontic length measurements using cone beam computed tomography with dedicated or conventional software at different voxel sizes

Abstract The aim of this study is to investigate the accuracies and the agreements of the 3D Endo software, conventional CBCT software Romexis Viewer at three voxel sizes, and the EAL ProPex Pixi in endodontic length measurements. Three hundred and twenty-nine root canals in 120 intact human extract...

Three hundred and twenty-nine root canals in 120 intact human extracted molars were accessed.
