Abstract

Radiographs are important diagnostic tools in endodontics. With the development of advanced systems in traditional radiology, new and more accurate imaging techniques are constantly under investigation. Computerized tomography, magnetic resonance and real-time echotomography have been introduced in recent years to the field of endodontics: they may have advantages over conventional techniques for the amount of detailed information they can provide on specific cases. This paper reviews these new imaging techniques.
