Abstract

Purpose: to provide an overview in optimizing endodontic treatment using CBCT imaging. Objectives: 1. To evaluate the role of CBCT in the assessment of patients with periododontic disease. 2. Comparison of 2D imaging protocols (OPG, retroalveolar radiological film) image quality, information and commonly used radiation dose. Studying the literature and after analyzing our own clinical cases we argued the value of CBCT in endodontic treatment
