      <abstract>
        <p>Advancements in dental imaging have dramatically transformed the field of endodontics, improving both diagnostic accuracy and treatment outcomes, particularly in canal therapy. Traditional two-dimensional radiography, while still widely used, is often limited in its ability to visualize complex root canal anatomies and periapical pathologies. Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) has emerged as a superior alternative, offering detailed three-dimensional views of the teeth and surrounding structures. This technology allows clinicians to detect anatomical variations, root fractures, and resorptive defects with greater precision, which is critical for effective treatment planning. In addition to CBCT, the development of intraoral scanners (IOS) has enhanced the precision of dental impressions and treatment planning. IOS technology generates real-time digital images, eliminating the need for traditional impression materials and reducing errors. By providing highly accurate 3D models of the teeth and surrounding tissues, IOS improves the planning and execution of complex root canal procedures and restorations. Artificial intelligence (AI) has also begun to play a significant role in dental imaging, offering predictive diagnostic capabilities that complement traditional methods. AI-driven systems can detect subtle pathologies and analyze imaging data to predict treatment outcomes with increased reliability. This not only enhances diagnostic accuracy but also allows for more personalized treatment approaches. Together, these innovations in dental imaging are revolutionizing endodontic therapy by offering clinicians more precise diagnostic tools and improving patient care. As these technologies continue to evolve, their integration into routine clinical practice is expected to further enhance the accuracy, efficiency, and success of endodontic treatments. The adoption of advanced imaging technologies represents a major step forward in modern dentistry, particularly in the management of complex canal systems and challenging endodontic cases.&#13;
