摘要

Dental radiography is an essential tool in endodontics for determination of diagnosis, treatment planning and monitoring of treatment outcome. Conventional two-dimensional imaging remains the most commonly used and the standard method of radiographic imaging in endodontics due to accessibility and low radiation exposure. The use of cone beam computed tomography is increasing worldwide due to the benefits of three-dimensional visualisation of the teeth under investigation and surrounding structures. Its use, however, should be considered on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration the benefits and increased dose of radiation in line with published guidelines.
