Computed tomography: Will the slices reveal the truth

J Int Soc Prev Community Dent. 2016 Aug;6(Suppl 2):S85-92. doi: 10.4103/2231-0762.189734.

Abstract

With the advances in the field of imaging sciences, new methods have been developed in dental radiology. These include digital radiography, density analyzing methods, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, and nuclear imaging techniques, which provide high-resolution detailed images of oral structures. The current review aims to critically elaborate the use of CBCT in endodontics.

Keywords: Cone beam computed tomography; endodontics; radiology.
