Description
Summary:Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the accuracy of the 3D Endo software, conventional CBCT software Romexis Viewer, and the EAL E-Pex Pro in WL determination. Materials and Methods: Three hundred and two root canals in 110 intact human extracted molars were accessed. The actual lengths (ALs) were measured. Root canal lengths were measured using 3D Endo with proposed length (3D-PL) by software, correct length (3D-CL), Romexis Viewer, and the E-Pex Pro. The percentages of the measurements in the range of ±0.5 mm to the AL were compared using the Fisher’s exact test. The paired t test and Bland–Altman plots were calculated to detect the agreement of the four methods with the AL measurements. The statistical significance was set at P
