The use of microCT in different areas of dental research has been growing logarithmically since early 1990's. Endodontic researchers have been using microCT for a decade or more to assess reshaping of the root canals. Comparative biologists have used it to track enamel thickness evolution and more recently, molar cusp patterns using topographic mapping. The ability to visualize teeth non-destructively and in 3D gives dental researchers the ability to study tooth features and carious lesions with an ar
