“…35 CBCT plays an important role in endodontic therapy by identifying of all root canals (e.gsecond mesiobuccal canal (MB2) in maxillary first molars and aberrant pulpal anatomy, e.g., dens invaginatus) without any fail so that they can be accessed, cleaned, shaped, and obturated. 39,40…”

Diagnostic treatment planning is crucial to achieve optimal success in oral rehabilitation, and this will be impossible without assistance of diagnostic imaging. For this reason, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was introduced and is known for its accuracy and variegated clinical importance. In current era, cone-beam tomography is aiding in the process of diagnosis by dispensing an exorbitant three dimensional image. CBCT not only be used in surgical fields, endodontics, prosthodontics, and orthodontics, for appropriate treatment planning and effective dental care, but also in forensics and radiotherapy. The clinical significance of this review is to update dental clinicians about CBCT applications in several fields of dental sciences.

Accurate diagnosis and treatment planning are the backbone of any medical therapy; for this reason, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was introduced and has been widely used. CBCT technology provides a three-dimensional image viewing, enabling exact location and extent of lesions or any anatomical region. For the very same reason, CBCT can not only be used for surgical fields but also for fields such as endodontics, prosthodontics, and orthodontics for appropriate treatment planning and effective dental care. The aim and clinical significance of this review are to update dental clinicians on the CBCT applications in each dental specialty for an appropriate diagnosis and more predictable treatment.

“…Furthermore, it aids in detection and locating separated instruments, missed canals and other foreign body materials, prior to retreatment (1,5). Thus, in difficult endodontic instances where standard radiography is insufficient, CBCT may be helpful (6,7), as its 3D views can be used to convey extra information (8,9).…”

BACKGROUND: Radiographs taken intra-orally are essential for planning a diagnosis; however the resulting two-dimensional images require thorough interpretation. Cone beam computed Tomographic (CBCT) imaging offers a more precise, three-dimensional image that could aid in proper diagnosis and treatment planning in endodontic and endo-periodontal cases. OBJECTIVES: Assessment of CBCT referral reasons to private radiology centers, and its impact on modifying treatment plan in endodontic and endo-periodontal related cases. MATERIALS AND METHODS:This cross-sectional study comprised a total of 131 patients, who visited private radiology centers in Alexandria, seeking CBCT scans, from July 2021to June 2022: All scans were inspected for assessing referral reasons; referring dentists were asked about their reason for CBCT acquisition, and its effect on their diagnosis and treatment plan. Assessed cases were categorized into either a group of teeth with solitary endodontic-related problem or teeth with an endodontic-periodontal -related problem. RESULTS:The number of teeth found with endo-periodontal radiographic problems in the CBCT scans was significantly lower than solitary endodontic cases (n=14, 8.4%,n=152, 91.5% respectively). Also, a significant difference was detected between those referred cases with endodontic-Periodontal lesions that were not previously root canal treated and those endodontic related cases that received earlier endodontic treatment (p=0.004*) , CBCT had a positive effect on changing the endodontists' diagnosis and treatment plan, especially in endodontic-periodontal cases (p<0.01 ‫.)٭‬ CONCLUSION: CBCT is considered crucial for detection and proper diagnosis of endo-perio lesions. For all endodontic cases with missed canals, calcified canals and inflammatory resorptive defects, CBCT is deemed necessary.
