Researchers compared enamel-dentin and dentin-pulp distance measurements from CBCT scans against histological sections of extracted teeth, finding that CBCT systematically overestimated enamel-dentin distances, particularly near the pulp chamber, while showing variable patterns in dentin-pulp measurements.
