Abstrakt: Challenging clinical situations require additional resources for the development of diagnosis, and consequently, improved prognosis teeth morphological variations are a constant challenge for diagnosis and successful endodontic therapy. A well-conducted clinical examination is decisive and sovereign in the diagnosis. However, an isolated segment is not base to this process. A set of associated clinical and complementary examinations, among these, the analysis through images are responsible for diagnosis. To obtain essential information in clinical endodontics, conebeam computed tomographic (CBCT) imaging can be used in all phases of treatment including diagnosis, treatment planning, during the treatment phase, and through post-treatment assessment and follow-up. CBCT constitutes as an essential modality image provided by the three-dimensional spatial relationships, thus facilitating the visualization of anatomical structures, forming proper image geometry and contrast, and allow a diagnosis with greater depth of detail.
