Use of rotational tomography for assessing internal resorption.
The authors describe the use of tomography, a relatively simple and well-established radiographic technique, for determining the buccolingual extent of internal resorptive lesions. The procedure may be a useful adjunct in selected cases to determine whether root canal therapy for the treatment of internal resorption followed by restoration of the tooth is likely to be successful.
