“…A CBCT examination should only be considered after a detailed clinical examination, including conventional radiographs, has been performed (Kruse et al , Patel et al a). The potential benefits as well as potential risks must be discussed with the patient beforehand.…”

This Position Statement represents a consensus of an expert committee convened by the European Society of Endodontology (ESE) on the use of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) in Endodontics. This paper is an update of the ESE CBCT position statement which was published in 2014 (European Society of Endodontology 2014, https://doi.org/10.1111/iej.12267). Recent review articles provide more detailed background information and the basis for this position statement. It is intended that this position statement will be updated at least every 4‐5 years to keep abreast of relevant research. The aim of this paper is to provide clinicians with evidence‐based guidance on the application of CBCT in Endodontics. Since 2014, there has been an increase in the number of clinical studies confirming the positive impact of CBCT on treatment planning, decision‐making when reviewing cases and reduced practitioner stress levels.

“…2 CBCT produces undistorted three-dimensional images of the maxillofacial skeleton, including the teeth and the surrounding tissues, with a relatively lower effective radiation dose than that of computed tomography. 3 CBCT is therefore considered a valuable tool for detecting MB2 canals and could be used in the endodontic treatment of MFMs. 4,5 In recent years, many studies have assessed the prevalence of the MB2 canal, most of which used CBCT, as shown in Table 1.…”

“…La TCHC sólo debería estar reservado para casos en los que exista un beneficio potencial de una evaluación tridimensional. Es esencial que la exposición a la radiación del paciente se mantenga tan baja como sea razonablemente posible (ALARA) (26). En el presente estudio se utilizó un FOV de campo amplio para poder evaluar ambos maxilares con todas las piezas dentarias, en casos como lesiones periapicales, evaluación de resultado de tratamiento de conducto, fracturas verticales, evaluación de anatomía del conducto radicular, evaluación pre-quirúrigca, diagnóstico y manejo de reabsorción radicular se optará por un FOV de campo pequeño (18).…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and distribution of pulp stones in a group of Peruvian adults using cone beam tomography (CBCT). Materials and methods: 60 randomly selected CBCT from a tomographic center in Lima, Peru were analyzed. A total of 1263 images of teeth using the Point 3D Combi 500 S tomograph were evaluated. Images analysis was performed with Real Scan software and all teeth were evaluated in sagittal, axial and coronal views. All measurements were subjected to a chi square test. (p<0.05). Results: Of the 1263 teeth, 30.8% presented pulp calcifications through the CBCT. The prevalence of calcifications was higher in women than in men. The maxillary and mandibular molars were the groups of teeth with the highest frequency of pulp stones. There was significance between the pulp stones and the gender, age range, type and state of the tooth. Conclusions: The maxillary first molars had a higher prevalence of pulp calcifications than the mandibular ones. The presence of caries increased the possibility of the appearance of these calcifications, specifically in the maxillary teeth. CBCT could be a sensitive tool to detect pulp stones. Knowledge of the distribution of pulp stones can help dentists in the clinical treatment of endodontics.
