Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) specifically designed for imaging of the dento facial region is a true shift from 2D to 3D imaging. It produces high resolution 3D images in thin, thick or curved slices in axial, saggital and coronal planes. CBCT is a valuable tool for endodontic diagnosis and treatment planning as well as for assessing apical periodontitis, resorption, root fractures, root canal anatomy, perforations and the nature of the alveolar bone around the teeth.
