Abstract: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) can show the jaw from sagittal, coronal and axial planes. CBCT is better than periapical radiology (PR) , which has the defects of overlap and deformation. CBCT produces information with lower radiation and higher resolution when compared with conventional spiral computed tomography. CBCT has been widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of endodontic diseases, especially in apical periodontitis.
