Abstract

When planning endodontics therapy the diagnostic information provided by X-rays methods of research has huge value. Article is devoted to a comparative assessment of a cone-beam computerized tomography and an panoramic radiograph, as to the most widespread type of X-rays inspection in stomatology. On the basis of the studied literature advantage of a cone-beam computerized tomography before an panoramic radiograph in different clinical situations is shown.
