ABSTRACT

Background: This study aimed to assess the knowledge of Brazilian endodontists regarding the use of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in endodontic therapy. Material and Methods: An invitation to participate in the research was sent to 3256 professionals through class groups on social networks and via email. Participants answered an online questionnaire consisting of 11 questions about the clinical situations in which they used CBCT and whether they had any knowledge of the technical protocols such as parameters of field of view (FOV) and voxels of the CBCT equipment. The questionnaire was answered by 742 endodontists who represented 22.7% of the invited professionals. Results: The data obtained indicate that 76.7% of the participants use or have used CBCT during endodontic treatments. The most often reported clinical conditions for using the CBCT were: root fractures (64%), locating the canals (58.7%), perforations (53.9%), and root resorption (42.1%). More than 60% of the participants stated that they do not have information about the voxel, FOV, and the CBCT system used in their requests. Only 34.1% reported using CBCT to the performed endodontic treatments follow-up. Conclusions: CBCT was a tool widely utilized by the participants, with root fracture being the clinical condition with the highest indication for CBCT. Many professionals were unaware of the technical protocol used in the exams. Key words:Endodontics, Cone Beam Computed Tomography, Endodontic Therapy.
