CBCT in Advanced Endodontics and Airway Analysis
CBCT has redefined success in endodontic therapy. While traditional 2D X-rays often miss details hidden within the bone,
CBCT identifies complex anatomy—such as bifurcated roots or elusive secondary canals—which significantly reduces treatment failures. It is also highly effective in detecting internal and external root resorption and silent fractures. Beyond teeth, there is a rising trend in using CBCT for sleep apnea screening. By providing a volumetric 3D view of the upper airway, dentists can calculate airway volume and identify obstructions, facilitating more effective oral appliance therapy and multidisciplinary sleep medicine collaboration.
