Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" id="iej12270-abs-0001"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) produces undistorted three‐dimensional information of the maxillofacial skeleton, including the teeth and their surrounding tissues with a lower effective radiation dose than computed tomography. The aim of this paper is to: (i) review the current literature on the applications and limitations of CBCT; (ii) make recommendations for the use of CBCT in Endodontics; (iii) highlight areas of further research of CBCT in Endodontics.</p> </abstract>
