Mastering CBCT in Endodontics

A new advanced CBCT program for endodontists has launched – built directly on the updated 2025 AAE and AAOMR Joint Position Statement: Use of Cone-Beam Computed Tomography in Endodontics 2025 Update, which refines clinical recommendations, elevates training expectations, and underscores the essential role of 3D imaging in contemporary endodontic care. This course translates those updated standards into practical, clinically relevant skills that strengthen diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning.

Designed exclusively for group practices, the program is conducted onsite in your office, allowing your entire professional team to learn together in the environment where you diagnose and treat patients every day. Through hands-on interpretation, real-case analysis, and workflow integration strategies, your group will gain confidence in applying CBCT responsibly, efficiently, and in full alignment with the specialty’s latest guidelines. Bring advanced imaging mastery directly into your practice. Martin D. Levin, DMD (with Barry Pass, DDS, PhD via Zoom)

Use of CBCT in Endodontics

This CBCT 3D semi-transparent isosurface reformation shows the maxilla of a 22 yo male patient who fell while biking. A segmented 3D image and crossectional reformations show the transverse radicular fractures in the maxillary right and left lateral and central incisors.

Endodontic therapy depends on diagnostic radiographs and image-guided treatment. Periapical and panoramic radiography have been augmented by the introduction of limited field of view, high-resolution Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), allowing three-dimensional assessment of odontogenic and and non-odontogenic lesions, root canal morphology, revision treatment, root and alveolar fractures, resorptive lesions and anatomy prior to surgery.

Our program highlights a step-wise approach to image interpretation and documentation, using artificial intelegance, common interpretation errors and endodontic applications of CBCT. Additional material on artifacts, panoramic imaging, the maxillary sinuses, workflow, the consent process and marketing will be presented.
