Abstract
The occurrence of dental fractures is characterized by the rupture of dental tissue, resulting in a visible line of discontinuity that can manifest itself in different orientations. The objective of this study is to seek an answer, through the literature, whether cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) can be used to diagnose root fractures (RF). To answer this question, an extensive literature review was carried out using electronic databases. Search terms included “cone beam computed tomography,” “endodontics,” “root fracture,” and their corresponding English equivalents. Only articles relevant to the topic and published between 2015 and 2024 were selected. The results indicate that CBCT is the most effective imaging technique for detecting RF, with an ideal size, producing ideal results. However, it is essential that the Dental Surgeon (DC) acquires knowledge about the examination process to accurately interpret the results and determine when it is necessary to request a CT scan.
