Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of root canal preparation and obturation by third year students who were performing root canal treatment for the first time, with micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and compare the images taken at the first and second obturations for their training. Methods: Single-rooted straight artificial right maxillary incisors for endodontic training were used for root canal preparation. The canals were obturated with gutta-percha and sealer. Six incisors judged to be well-obturated based on 2-D dental X-ray images were selected for micro-CT scanning. Based on the micro-CT images of the obturation performed for the first time, the areas for improvement were explained to each student individually. Then, root canal preparation and obt.. View More»
