Aim: to evaluate the use of CBCT to determine, in mm3 , the volume of dental tissue removed during endodontic access in human premolars. Materials and methods: For this analysis, CBCT was used in 20 teeth before and after endodontic access, performed with spherical and conical diamond burs. The CBCT used was I-CAT (Imaging Sciences International, Hatfield, PA, USA), with the following setup: 0.25 mm voxel, 13 cm FOV, 30s, 120 kVp and 3,8 mA current. DICOM images were loaded on two softwares, InVesalius® and Materialise Mimics/3-matic®. A 3D reconstruction of the tomography imagens was realized on both softwares, and it was calculated the initial (Vi) and final volume (Vf). The volume of removed tissue (Vr) was calculated through the formula: Vr = Vi – Vf. Results: The calculated data, for softwares Materialise and InVesalius, respectively, were: mean Vi of 441,79 ± 85,08mm3 and 442,01 ± 84,83mm3 ; mean Vf of 426,75 ±83,88mm3 and 426,94 ± 83,75mm3 ; mean Vr of 15,04 ± 4,32mm3 and 15,07 ± 4,16mm3 . No statistically significant diferences were found on the volume calculated on the different softwares in all measures, initial, final and removed. (p>0,05). However, there was a significant difference between the initial and final volume values calculated on the same software (p<0,05). Conclusion: CBCT is a tool that can be used to determine the volume of dental tissue removed during endodontic access, in vitro, associated with specific softwares for this purpose.
