Objective: The aim of this study was to conduct a literature review on the use of cone-beam computed tomography in periodontics and determine the extent and severity of periodontal lesions so as to encourage the development of a new concept for diagnosis and surgical planning in periodontics. Material and methods: A literature search was conducted in PubMed database using the following keywords: computed tomography, diagnosis periodontics, bone defects, furcation lesions, and periodontal biotype. A total of 33 articles were found. Results: A review of the articles suggested benefits in using this technology in periodontal surgical planning, for treatment of furcation lesions, bone defects, and determination of periodontal biotype. Conclusion: Cone-beam computed tomography three-dimensional images is superior to conventional radiography. It also minimizes patient exposure to ionizing radiation, optimizes surgical planning, and decreases operative time, leading to a better response to treatment. This technology is very useful in clinical practice, but is not used widely in periodontics. We believe that the use of this technology should be promoted among professionals.

ABSTRACT Recently, various diagnostic tools have emerged with a view to enhance endodontic treatment. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is presented as a new endodontic tool. The narrow field CBCT reduces the negative effects of anatomic noise, geometric distortion, and technique sensitivity observed on two-dimensional images. It can be used to identify canal morphology, numbers of canals, and relative positioning even in the presence of calcific metamorphosis (CM) and dystrophic calcifications. Calcific metamorphosis is characterized by the deposition of hard tissue within the pulp canal space. Most of the literature advices the treatment of CM through observation and periodic examination. Thus, it is imperative for the clinician to identify calcified canals preoperatively for conservative treatment approach. This case series illustrates about the versatility of CBCT over the conventional radiology for detecting calcified canals. How to cite this article Chougule AR, Kundabala M, Mohan RP, Shetty N.
