Abstract The use of cone beam computed tomography ( CBCT ) in the diagnosis and/or management of endodontic problems is increasing and is reflected in the exponential rise in publications on this topic in the last two decades. The aim of this paper is to: (i) Review current literature on the endodontic applications of CBCT; (ii) Based on current evidence make recommendations for the use of CBCT in Endodontics; (iii) Highlight the areas in which more research is required.

By producing undistorted three-dimensional images of the area under examination, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) systems have met many of the limitations of conventional radiography. These systems produce images with small field of view at low radiation doses with adequate spatial resolution that are suitable for many applications in endodontics from diagnosis to treatment and follow-up. This review article comprehensively assembles all the data from literature regarding the potential applications of CBCT in endodontics.

The utilization of cone beam computed tomography from endodontic perspective has been a great tool in the diagnosis of pulp and periradicular infections. The application of this tool is expanding rapidly and is been highlighted in various aspects of literature over a decade now. The objective of this paper is to scrutinize the various applications of Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in endodontics, and to highlight the need of this tool in the field of diagnosis and treatment planning of endodontic infections.

The use of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in endodontics has been extensively reported in the literature. Compared with the traditional spiral computed tomography, limited field of view (FOV) CBCT results in a fraction of the effective absorbed dose of radiation. The purpose of this manuscript is to review the application and advantages associated with advanced endodontic problems and complications, while reducing radiation exposure during complex endodontic procedures. The benefits of the added diagnostic information provided by intraoperative CBCT images in select cases justify the risk associated with the limited level of radiation exposure.

Abstract A technique using a glass‐cermet cement for preendodontic coronal build‐up of badly broken‐down teeth is described. This glass‐cermet cement fulfils the more specific requirements of a material used in coronal build‐ups of a less permanent nature without damage to existing tooth structure and satisfies the requirements of endodontic procedures. The technique allows for endodontic therapy to be commenced immediately and facilitates canal instrumentation.

Abstract Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has become a popular diagnostic method in endodontics. However, recently published data provides a glance into possible missing links regarding the efficacy of CBCT and its use to support the endodontic clinical decision-making process.
