Successful discovery and localization of all roots and potential canal spaces is critical to favorable endodontic outcomes and therapies. This is especially challenging in the retreatment environment, where the native anatomy within the chamber has been altered or destroyed, and conventional radiographs are inconclusive. The use of the Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) has proven indispensable in these instances, focusing any excavation in the proper dimension and direction to facilitate a more thorough treatment delivery. The exceptional analysis of these difficult presentations afforded by the use of this technology is illustrated using various clinical case scenarios, including anomalous root morphologies, additional canal spaces and insights into eccentric periapical pathologies. |
