N2 - In this chapter, the main uses of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in endodontics are discussed in light of some of the most recently published literature. There is no doubt that CBCT use in dentistry is increasing due to its advantages compared to other radiographic imaging techniques; however, it comes at the expense of increased exposure to ionising radiation. Its use should follow sound principles and have the potential to improve the diagnosis and positively impact the decision-making process of the clinician.
