Sažetak
There is no successful endodontic therapy without an intimate knowledge of the root canal morphology. The objective of this study was to develop a technique utilizing computer image processing, which would allow three-dimensional imaging of root canals. The study included the preparation of samples, construction of a cutting-measuring device, sample resection, optical registration of cross sections and graphic computer-assisted sample reconstruction. The described method allowed a three-dimensional graphic reconstruction
of the experimental model. The rebuilt model could be transversally and longitudinally resected. The method may prove useful for external and internal study root morphology. With some midifications, it could be also used in other fields of dentistry.
