Effect of Voxel Size on Cone‐Beam Computed Tomography‐Based Assessment of Root Canal Anatomy: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
The current study's findings suggest that there is an association between reducing the voxel size and enhancing the diagnostic outcome of CBCT images in assessing root canal anatomy. Although the meta-regression showed a statistically significant correlation, the results should be interpreted cautiously because of methodological heterogeneity, the complex interplay of imaging parameters beyond voxel size alone, and the lack of clinical studies. Future research should focus on standardised clinical studies to examine the impact of voxel size on the diagnostic outcome of CBCT images.
