Study examines CBCT systems for root canal treatment planning
By Tony Edwards
The first step in planning for root canal treatment is being able to clearly see the anatomy of the canal. A cone-beam CT (CBCT) system has many advantages, such as cost and field-of-view, over other imaging devices, but can it be used to help develop a treatment plan for patients who need endodontic treatment? Researchers sought to answer this question.

Impacted canines: Radiographs or CBCT?
By Theresa Pablos
When creating a treatment plan for impacted maxillary canines, conventional radiographs will likely work fine for most cases. But if a case is particularly difficult to diagnose in the initial evaluation, a cone-beam CT (CBCT) scan may be the better option, according to a new systematic review.

Do CBCT images change endodontic treatment planning?
By Tony Edwards
A treatment plan is based on experience and clinical and diagnostic information. But when it comes to endodontic treatment planning, especially for a difficult case, do the images from a cone-beam CT (CBCT) scan actually influence how a specialist proceeds? The results of a new study might make you consider what imaging tool you use.

Can CBCT help reduce root canal surprises?
By Tony Edwards
Surprises in endodontic treatments, such as additional canals on an incisor, can disrupt the best-laid treatment plans. As more than 40% of root canal treatments need retreatment because of missed roots or canals, researchers from France wanted to determine if cone-beam CT (CBCT) could determine the number of additional canals and also if one tooth's root canal anatomy was predictive of another's in the same patient.
