Accuracy of volumetric measurement of simulated root resorption lacunas based on cone beam computed tomography

ConclusionsThe accuracy of 3‐D quantitative volumetric measurement of simulated root resorption based on CBCT was fairly good in detecting simulated resorption cavities larger than 3.47 mm3, while it was not sufficient for measuring resorption cavities smaller than 1.07 mm3. This method could be applied in future studies of root resorption although further studies are required to improve its accuracy.
