- Abstract
This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of the different voxel sizes and imaging parameters of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) on the determination of external root resorption (ERR). ERRs were created in coronal, middle and apical regions. Depths (0.62–0.73 mm) and diameters (0.68–0.81 mm) of ERRs were measured using a digital calliper. Images were obtained in 0.125, 0.2, 0.25, 0.3 and 0.4 mm3 voxel sizes and at different currents. Data were analysed using Friedman and Wilcoxon signed‐rank tests at a level of P < 0.05. There was a difference between the parameters in determining the size of the ERR in coronal and middle regions (P < 0.05), but there was no difference in the apical region (P > 0.05). The change in current and exposure time did not make a difference in determining the dimensions of the ERRs (P > 0.05). Some voxel dimensions were more reliable in determining the depth and diameter of ERR in the coronal and middle region.
