Use of Cone Beam Computed Tomography in Endodontics

Iatrogenic perforative defects can be difficult to confirm by periapical radiography alone. This patient was referred for evaluation and possible endodontic revision of the mandibular right lateral incisor because of chronic sensitivity to occlusal forces. CBCT images ((a) axial, (b) sagittal) demonstrate a mid-root post perforation.
