12 Objective: to verify the accuracy of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for measuring dentin thickness in the danger zone of mandibular molars in order to validate this method to be used as a clinical auxiliary. Materials and method: dentin thickness of the distal wall of mesial canals was measured at 2 mm of furcation area in ten mandibular molars before and after preparation of cervical and middle thirds. CBCT (0.25 mm voxel size) and stereomicroscopy images were acquired twice for each sample. CBCT axial images and stereomicroscope images were evaluated by a calibrated examiner. Statistical analysis was performed using Mann-Whitney test in order to investigate whether CBCT images provided trusted values. Results: mean values of initial (1.23 versus 1.24 mm) and final measurements (0.88 versus 0.87 mm) obtained with, respectively, CBCT and stereomicroscope methods did not show statistical differences (P > 0.5). Conclusion: CBCT images provide high accuracy for measuring dentin thickness in the danger zone of mandibular molars.
