Diagnosis of Mesiodistal Vertical Root Fractures in Teeth with Metal Posts: Influence of Applying Filters in Cone-beam Computed Tomography Images at Different Resolutions

The presence of a metal post and the voxel size significantly interfere with the diagnosis of VRF. Despite the formation of metal artifacts associated with metallic cores, applying filters did not improve the diagnosis. For mesiodistal VRF, the CBCT images are superior to the periapical radiographs.
