Micro-Computer Tomography Analysis (Micro-CT)

Micro-Computer Tomography Analysis (Micro-CT)

  • 3D reconstruction of the endodontic system
  • Anatomy of the endodontic system
  • Efficiency of treatment systems
  • Determination of the preparation size
  • Determination of the extent of the access or trepanation cavity

Chewing simulation

Chewing simulation

With the help of a chewing simulator we analyse

  • development of cracks and fractures of teeth (crack progression and risk factors)
  • fatigue of ceramic and composite restorations under masticatory load and thermocycling


Course of fracture lines in differently prepared teeth with composite filling:

(a, b): Preparation including shortening of the cusp | (c, d): Preparation without shortening the cusp

The arrows show the fracture line, which starts at the junction between tooth and composite and ends below the enamel-cement interface.

Digital volume tomography (DVT)

Digital volume tomography (DVT)

Through clinical and experimental application of DVT we determine

  • accuracy of the working length 
  • size of bone defects 

Physical properties of dental hard tissue

Physical properties of dental hard tissue

  • Ultrasonic measurement of the elastic modulus of dentin
  • Influence of different dental materials on the physical properties of dentin

Endometry / accuracy of endodontic working length determination

Endometry / accuracy of endodontic working length determination

  • Development of measuring devices for more precise determination of the accuracy of apex locators
  • Clinical reliability of apex locators
