ABSTRACT Aim To report a rare case of large radicular cyst-associated deciduous tooth and to discuss the importance of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in diagnosing the condition. Background Radicular cyst is the most common cyst affecting the permanent teeth, but its occurrence in deciduous teeth is rare. Most of the radicular cysts are asymptomatic and are discovered accidentally when radiographs are taken. Conventional radiographs show two-dimensional images of three-dimensional objects. Cone beam computed tomography provides undistorted three-dimensional information of hard tissues and gives adequate spatial resolution. Case report A 7-year-old child, with a complaint of swelling in the maxillary anterior region, was diagnosed with radicular cyst in relation to primary maxillary right central incisor based on CBCT and histopathological features. Conclusion and clinical significance Early diagnosis and prompt treatment of radicular cyst in primary dentition is important to prevent damage to permanent tooth.

Radicular cyst is the second most common odontogenic cyst. Most of these lesions involve the apex of offending tooth and appear as well-defined radiolucencies. When asymptomatic, a cyst can acquire a large size, even extending into anatomic cavities. The present case reports an extensive radicular cyst extending into the maxillary sinus that could have been easily mistaken for just a displaced tooth. Conventional radiographs show two-dimensional images of three-dimensional objects. Cone-beam computed tomography provides undistorted three-dimensional information of hard tissues, gives adequate spatial resolution, and recently seen as an expansion in diagnosis and management of periapical lesions. Prompt diagnosis and treatment of radicular cyst were successful with endodontic treatment and surgical management.

Endodontic treatments are routinely done with the help of radiographs. However, radiographs represent only a two-dimensional image of an object. Failure to identify aberrant anatomy can lead to endodontic failure. This case report presents the use of three-dimensional imaging with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) as an adjunct to digital radiography in identification and management of mandibular second molar with three mesial canals.

ABSTRACT The knowledge of root canal morphology and the existing anatomical variations is essential for successful endodontic therapy. This report presents an extraordinary case of unusual tooth morphology involving the mandibular first molar with a single root and a single canal in a patient. Endodontic treatment of the affected tooth 36 was performed. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images confirmed our diagnostic and therapeutic measures after endodontic management of the teeth. This morphologic variation has been reported once in the literature. The availability of three-dimensional images further provided the opportunity for the precise description of the anatomy of mandibular first molar with single roots and single canals.

RESUMOO objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a acurácia das medidas lineares nos modelos 3D, a partir da tomografia computadorizada por feixe cônico, através da revisão de literatura. Foram pesquisados artigos científicos indexados na base de dados PubMed, entre os anos de 2006 a 2014, utilizando-se as palavras-chave: acurácia, confiabilidade, medidas lineares, tomografia computadorizada por feixe cônico, resultando na análise de 12 artigos. A tomografia computadorizada por feixe cônico (TCFC) fornece imagens em três dimensões (3D) – cortes tomográficos multiplanares (RMP) precisos e de alta resolução, a uma dose de radiação relativamente baixa. As medidas lineares realizadas nos modelos 3D, a partir da tomografia computadorizada por feixe cônico, são acuradas, independentemente da resolução do voxel.Palavras-chave: Acurácia. Confiabilidade. Medidas lineares. Tomografia computadorizada por feixe cônico.ABSTRACTThe objective of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of the linear measurements on 3D models, from cone beam computed tomography, through a literature review. Scientific articles indexed in the database PubMed were searched, between 2006 to 2014, using the keywords: accuracy, reliability, linear measurements, cone beam computed tomography, resulting in a total of 12 analysed articles. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) provide three-dimensional (3D) images – accurate and high resolution multiplanar reconstruction (MPR), with reduced radiation dosages. Linear measurements on the 3D models, from the CBCT scan, are accurate, regardless of the resolution of the voxel.Keywords: Accuracy. Reliability. Linear measurements. Cone beam computed tomography.
