CBCT in Endodontics: An Advanced Perspective

This book delves into the evolving role of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) in endodontics, highlighting its advantages over conventional radiography in diagnosing and managing complex endodontic conditions. It emphasizes the importance of understanding CBCT technology, its limitations, and its clinical applications in assessing periapical conditions, treatment planning, and post-treatment evaluations. The book provides valuable insights into radiation safety, optimal imaging protocols, and the anatomical challenges that may hinder diagnosis. Ideal for endodontists, dental students, and radiologists, this resource bridges the gap between traditional radiography and advanced imaging techniques for improved patient care and outcomes.

Endodontic diagnosis and treatment have long relied on conventional radiography, but Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) has emerged as a crucial tool in improving diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning. This book explores the strengths of CBCT in overcoming the limitations of traditional 2D imaging, including geometric distortion and anatomical noise. It discusses its applications in diagnosing complex endodontic issues, assessing treatment outcomes, and minimizing radiation exposure. By providing a thorough understanding of CBCT technology, its advantages, and appropriate clinical usage, this book equips practitioners with the knowledge needed for enhanced patient management in endodontics.
