| description | Introduction: Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a valuable tool in endodontics, particularly for assessing root morphology. Aim: To understand the importance of root morphology in endodontic treatment. Methodology: A comprehensive search of various databases was performed, and 804 studies were identified. After evaluating the studies using the inclusion criteria and eliminating duplicates, 12 articles were included in this review. Results: CBCT assessment demonstrated a high prevalence of single canals in maxillary incisors, varying root configurations in maxillary first premolars, and diverse anatomical distributions in mandibular molars, such as C-shaped canals, more commonly observed in women. Conclusion: The findings from this review concluded that CBCT is a valuable tool for the diagnosis and treatment of root canal anomalies in endodontics. |
