    CBCT & Regenerative Endodontics — Visual Summary

    Visualizations first; brief evidence-linked notes below each figure. All claims are inline-cited with full extracts.

    Key point: Contemporary narrative review reports overall success commonly in the 80–95% range, with higher predictability in younger patients and dependence on PDL viability and CBCT/3D planning for improved outcomes.
    Key point: The narrative review compiled published evidence showing HBSS preserves PDL viability for the longest reported period (~24 h) versus milk (~3 h) and saline (~2 h); dry conditions rapidly reduce viability. These are practical, clinically-relevant timeframes for minimizing extraoral time during autotransplantation.
    Key points:
    • Complete canal: SMD = -2.19 (95% CI -3.78 to -0.60), p=0.02 — WVC showed superior 3D filling overall, but heterogeneity is high (I2 = 85%).
    • Apical third: SMD = -0.79 (95% CI -1.92 to 0.35), p=0.13 — difference not statistically significant; heterogeneity moderate-to-high (I2 = 76%).
    Concise evidence synthesis & important limitations
    • CBCT and 3D planning are repeatedly highlighted as enabling tools for autotransplantation and for detecting complex anatomy (e.g., palatogingival grooves) — they improve planning precision but do not replace careful surgical technique or PDL preservation ().
    • Imaging-based surrogate metrics (voids, filling homogeneity) show technique differences in vitro (Micro-CT > CBCT sensitivity); however, these do not directly translate to clinical outcomes without long-term studies ().
    • Palatogingival groove detection and management benefit from CBCT for diagnosis and treatment planning; regenerative/tissue-sealing methods are used to salvage affected teeth but evidence is heterogenous ().
    What would change these conclusions?
    • Large, multicenter randomized or prospective clinical trials linking 3D obturation metrics (CBCT/Micro-CT) to long-term clinical outcomes would clarify whether imaging surrogates predict success.
    • Standardized autotransplantation protocols with long-term follow-up across age strata would resolve true success ranges and the independent contribution of CBCT/3D planning vs surgical technique.
    • Direct comparative trials of storage media with standardized PDL viability assays would quantify clinically-useful windows for extraoral tooth handling more robustly.
