“…The same bite block may then be used for subsequent radiographs to ensure that the X‐ray film, tooth and X‐ray beam are consistently aligned. Even with these techniques, serial radiographs will still show small inconsistencies (Rudolph & White 1988). Stents may not be helpful in children and adolescent patients with developing dentitions and maxillo‐facial skeletons.…”

Conventional radiographs used for the management of endodontic problems yield limited information because of the two-dimensional nature of images produced, geometric distortion and anatomical noise. These factors often act in combination. This review paper assesses the limitations of periapical radiographs and seeks to clarify three-dimensional imaging techniques that have been suggested as adjuncts to conventional radiographs. These include tuned aperture computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, computed tomography and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Of these techniques, CBCT appears to be an effective and safe way to overcome some of the problems associated with conventional radiographs.

“…Several devices for the serial recording of intra-oral radiographs have been designed, often including complex and time consuming mechanical methods based on an occlusal registration and fixation between the patient, the film holder and the X-ray tube. 8 Other investigators have used optical markers to ensure identical geometric alignment in repeat radiographic films 9 and electronically guided force sensitive sensors. 10 All have been shown to improve the repeatability of geometric alignment in serial radiographic images.…”

“…This is particularly salient in the assessment of ERR, which can commence and progress rapidly (3). Even when customized bite blocks attached to the paralleling device are used to take serial radiographs, the images will never be identical (21).…”

Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a contemporary, radiological imaging system designed specifically for use on the maxillofacial skeleton. The system overcomes many of the limitations of conventional radiography by producing undistorted, three-dimensional images of the area under examination. These properties make this form of imaging particularly suitable for use in endodontics. The clinician can obtain an enhanced appreciation of the anatomy being assessed, leading to an improvement in the detection of endodontic disease and resulting in more effective treatment planning. In addition, CBCT operates with a significantly lower effective radiation dose when compared with conventional computed tomography (CT). The purpose of this paper is to review the current literature relating to the limitations and potential applications of CBCT in endodontic practice.
