This review provides an overview of digital radiography as it exists, including advanced imaging such as computed tomography (CT), cone beam-CT and micro-CT as relevant to the practice of Endodontics.New image reconstruction techniques have been introduced that provide information three-dimensionally to the clinician for routine endodontic and surgical treatment planning. Limitations and advantages of newly introduced imaging modalities are discussed briefly.In addition to using CT images, a 3-dimensional analysis was conducted for further visualization. The anatomical configurations of the teeth were clearly observed in the CT scans, as was the relation of the teeth to the periodontal tissues. Further, using CT scans made it possible to determine buccolingual and mesiodistal widths of teeth, and the presence or absence of root canal filling materials and metal posts. In addition, carious lesions of a certain size and expansions of the maxillary sinus and proximity to the roots were observed. The 3-dimensional image analysis was interesting, but detailed observations could not be made with this technique.
