Lecture: CBCT in Endodontics
RCone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has become an indispensable radiographic
modality for dentists, providing high-quality, accurate three-dimensional (3D)
representations of maxillofacial structures. The development of CBCT has highlighted the
inadequacies of conventional radiography which are compression of three-dimensional
anatomy, geometric distortion, and anatomical noise Needless to state, clinicians should
have a thorough knowledge of CBCT before prescribing/using it for patients. This lecture will
discuss the applications, advantages, and disadvantages of CBCT in endodontics. A variety of
clinical cases will be presented to the audience to provide a holistic understanding of CBCT
in Endodontics.
Workshop: CBCT in Endodontics
Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has become an indispensable radiographic
modality for dentists, providing high-quality, accurate three-dimensional (3D) representations
of maxillofacial structures. This Workshop will enable the participants to understand the ways
to manipulate the images using the software for CBCT. The hands on will provide a practical
approach to understand the interpretation of various clinical scenarios in endodontics
including complex anatomies, missed canals, perforations, instrument separation. Each
Participant will be provided with these cases and guided to view all the required views to
formulate an appropriate treatment plan.
