Abstract

INTRODUCTION: This paper is a research done to determine the accuracy and reliability of CBCT for localizing and grading of root resorption related to Impacted Maxillary Canines through a new research methodology of CONTENT ANALYSIS.It conveys preliminary quantitative and qualitative data from a content analysis of how CBCT has the potential in providing improved diagnosis and treatment plan than that of conventional radiographs.CBCT when used to supplement clinical examination provides more accurate and larger information about the location ,root resorption of adjacent teeth, ankylosis of impacted maxillary canine, cystic degeneration etc and this information helps in an accurate orthodontic diagnosis to plan its exposure and various
alignment methods. Therefore, the researches on this topic carried out by various researchers during the period of 12 years is done to sum up the favourable and less favourable results through content analysis. The results indicate that articles largely portrayed favourable discourses about the use of CBCT for determining the root resorption associated with maxillary canine impaction.
OBJECTIVES: 1. Content is intended to educate more about the accuracy and reliability of CBCT in determining the root resorption associated with maxillary canine impaction through content analysis. 2. Comparing the radiographic diagnostic accuracy between conventional radiographs and CBCT system in detecting severity of root resorption associated with impacted
maxillary canines.
MATERIALS AND METHOD: 1. A comprehensive search of articles related to this study was collected from year 2008-2020.
2. A conceptual type of content analysis of all the articles is done as a research methodology in which the texts are reduced to categories consisting of a word, set of words or phrases 3. A coding method was used to categorise favourable and less favourable results of the chosen previously documented research. 4. Inferences obtained through the analysis of the documented research data were then summed up in tabular form.
RESULTS: While comparing the volumetric 3D method of CBCT and traditional 2D radiographs, various favourable and less favourable concepts were listed,this showed that a favourable content towards CBCT outweighed the unfavourable.
CONCLUSION: This study, found an in-sight about CBCT, when used to supplement clinical examination and conventional
radiographic imaging, provides accurate and reliable information about location of impacted canine and root resorption of adjacent tooth associated with it which is mandatory in order for surgeons and orthodontists to be able to make an accurate diagnosis and interdisciplinary treatment plan.
