In its extensively revised second edition, this book aims to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of the pivotal role that cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) plays in addressing some of the most complex issues in the field of endodontics. It serves as a valuable resource to expedite the learning curve associated with the application of this innovative imaging technology across various contexts. These contexts include intricate diagnostic cases, treatment planning, the assessment of internal tooth structures before embarking on root canal therapy, both non-surgical and surgical treatments, early detection and management of resorptive defects, and the evaluation of treatment outcomes.
The capability to acquire precise 3D representations of teeth and their surrounding structures through noninvasive CBCT imaging has transformed the landscape of clinical decision-making in endodontics. Practitioners, who were previously constrained by the limitations of 2D imaging, are now empowered to navigate three-dimensional spaces with ease. While the adoption of this new technology may seem intimidating, this book offers detailed guidance to assist endodontists in harnessing the significant advantages provided by CBCT. It serves as an indispensable tool for mastering this technology and making the most of its benefits.
