Objective To explore the application effect of cone-beam CT(CBCT) in the diagnosis and treatment of dental pulp diseases. Methods A total of 110 patients with endodontic and dental caries admitted to our hospital from January 2024 to December 2024 were selected as the research subjects. They were divided into the control group (n=55) and the study group (n=55) according to the "random number method" and underwent X-ray examination, and the cone-beam CT examination. The comparison and observation indicators were as follows: Disease detection rate, missed diagnosis rate, therapeutic effect, analgesia time, treatment time, adverse events and pain score. Results Before treatment, the pain scores of the two groups of patients showed no statistical significance (P>0.05); After treatment, compared with the control group, the pain score of patients in the study group was lower, P<0.05; Compared with the control group, the analgesia time and treatment time of the patients in the study group were shorter, P<0.05; Compared with the control group, the disease detection rate of patients in the study group was higher and the rate of missed diagnosis was lower (P<0.05); Compared with the control group, the therapeutic effect of patients in the study group was higher (P<0.05); Compared with the control group, the incidence of adverse events in the study group was lower (P<0.05). Conclusion In the diagnosis and treatment of dental pulp diseases, the use of cone-beam CT examination can significantly improve the disease detection rate and therapeutic effect, reduce the rate of missed diagnosis and adverse events, shorten the analgesia time and treatment time, and relieve pain. It is recommended for clinical promotion.
