Prevalencia de radix en primeros molares mandibulares por medio de CBCT en la ciudad de Guayaquil.

Abstract

Cone beam computed tomography is an important tool for the treatment of complications occurring in endodontics, where the diagnosis is decisive. Therefore, it is an indispensable instrument for the three-dimensional radiographic visualization. Given this, the present scientific research "Prevalence of Radix in mandibular first molars by CBCT in the city of Guayaquil" arises, which aims to establish the prevalence of Radix by CBCT in patients, inquiring and establishing whether the presence of Radix is unilateral or bilateral. As a field study, 421 patient files were included, where Cone Beam Computed Tomography analysis was performed, which provided 3D images and allowed to see almost perfectly any morphological variety in the lower first morals. As relevant results, it was concluded that there is no prevalence of Radix in the city of Guayaquil similar to other Latin American countries, thus providing a reliable and reproducible three-dimensional evaluation giving a complete quantitative and qualitative assessment of the results of the different therapies applied.
