Adaptation of a microCT facility for automatic recognition of bioceramic-based sealers in molar root canals aimed at endodontic treatment quality control

Computed tomography (CT) technology has seen tremendous growth since its first medical applications in the early 1970s. Nowadays, high-spatial-resolution digital detectors enable the micro-computed tomography (μCT) technique, which has been introduced to a wide variety of applications, including bio...
