Application of artifact suppression algorithm of post-processing CBCT software in root canal filling materials.
Article in Brazilian oral research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesCone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is an imaging exam used increasingly in various fields of dentistry, and a greater number of endodontists are progressively gaining access to this technology. This study focused on applying an artifact suppression algorithm featured in CBCT software, and designed specifically to address artifacts related to root canal filling materials.
methodThe sample consisted of eighty-four mandibular molars, with mesial root canals endodontically treated by using the lateral condensation technique. Four root canal sealers were applied: G1 - Sealapex®, G2 - AH Plus®, G3 - Endofill®, and G4 - Bio-C Sealer. CBCT scans were taken using PreXion 3D Elite®. Initially, the diameter of the root canal filling (in the mesiodistal and buccolingual directions) was measured using a digital micrometer (control). Next, these diameters were reevaluated in the CBCT images using the blooming artifact reduction (BAR) tool of the e-Vol DX software. The Van der Waerden nonparametric analysis of variance was performed, followed by applying the Tukey test to the normalized data. The significance level was set at α = 5%.
resultsThere were no statistically significant differences (p>0.05) in the measurement of original root canal filling materials obtained by the micrometer versus the e-Vol DX software in the mesiodistal and buccolingual directions.
conclusionsThe tested software algorithm effectively suppressed artifacts resulting from obturation materials.
