This extensively revised second edition offers a comprehensive guide to the application of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) in endodontics, helping clinicians leverage the power of 3D imaging to address complex diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Designed for both seasoned endodontists and those new to CBCT technology, the book explores its use across the full spectrum of endodontic practice—from diagnosis and treatment planning to surgical and nonsurgical procedures, resorptive defect detection, and outcomes assessment. By providing accurate, noninvasive 3D visualization of teeth and surrounding anatomical structures, CBCT is revolutionizing decision-making in endodontics. However, mastering the technology and its interpretation can be challenging. This book bridges the gap with clear, structured guidance, richly illustrated cases, and practical tips to streamline clinical integration. It empowers practitioners to move beyond the limitations of traditional 2D imaging and fully realize the diagnostic and therapeutic benefits of CBCT. Key Features CBCT in Endodontics, Made Practical A user-friendly resource that demystifies the use of CBCT in real-world endodontic scenarios, guiding readers through complex cases with clarity. 3D Imaging for Accurate Diagnosis Learn how CBCT enhances diagnostic accuracy in cases such as vertical root fractures, missed canals, root resorptions, and apical pathologies. Detailed Applications Across Procedures Covers CBCT use in: Preoperative assessment of internal tooth anatomy Nonsurgical root canal therapy Endodontic microsurgery Evaluation of healing and post-treatment outcomes Improved Clinical Decision-Making Teaches how to interpret CBCT scans effectively to make confident, informed decisions in challenging clinical situations. Step-by-Step Case-Based Guidance Features numerous clinical case studies with high-resolution CBCT images and interpretations, demonstrating practical application in various contexts. Focused Chapters on Resorptive Defects Special attention is given to the early detection and classification of internal and external resorptive lesions—key areas where CBCT offers major advantages. Reduced Learning Curve for New Users Designed to shorten the learning curve for endodontists new to CBCT through intuitive explanations and clearly outlined protocols. Emphasis on Evidence-Based Practice Presents up-to-date scientific evidence and clinical guidelines to support the responsible, effective use of CBCT technology in endodontics. For Endodontists and General Practitioners Alike While ideal for specialists, the book also serves as a valuable reference for general dentists performing advanced endodontic procedures.
