Use of Cone Beam Computed Tomography in Endodontics

TLDR
A literature review and pictorial demonstration of CBCT as an imaging adjunct for endodontics is provided and small field of view images at low dose with sufficient spatial resolution are provided.
Abstract
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a diagnostic imaging modality that provides high-quality, accurate three-dimensional (3D) representations of the osseous elements of the maxillofacial skeleton. CBCT systems are available that provide small field of view images at low dose with sufficient spatial resolution for applications in endodontic diagnosis, treatment guidance, and posttreatment evaluation. This article provides a literature review and pictorial demonstration of CBCT as an imaging adjunct for endodontics.

Detection of vertical root fractures in endodontically treated teeth by a cone beam computed tomography scan.

TL;DR: The results of this study support the use of 3D Accuitomo 170 for the detection of VRFs in endodontically treated teeth and suggest that the reproducibility and accuracy in VRF detection depend on the CBCT system used.
