Advanced Diagnostic Aids in Endodontics

Conventional radiographs used for the management of endodontic problems yield limited information because of the two-dimensional nature of images produced, geometric distortion and anatomical noise. Newer This review paper seeks to clarify three-dimensional imaging techniques that have been suggested as adjuncts to conventional radiographs .These include tuned aperture computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, computed tomography and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).
