The book entitled “Advanced CBCT for Endodontics” by Dr. John A. Khademi and contributors aims to encourage
endodontist doctors to use cone beam computer tomography (CBCT) in daily practice to establish a diagnosis,
a treatment plan, to assist in the decision-making process and how to assess treatment outcomes. This book is
divided into five chapters. After introducing us to the CBCT issue the authors present technical considerations on the
acquisition process and the difference between two-dimensional and three-dimensional radiography. Chapter three
talks about occult perceptual and cognitive issues that can influence both the interpretation and the confidence in the
interpretation of CBCT imaging studies. Restore consideration and balance into the decision making in the diagnostic,
treatment planning and treatment process is the objective of the chapter four. These first chapters are the “know what”
chapters, while the last chapter is the “know-how” chapter showing how to implement CBCT in clinical practice. As
the author says, this book is not easy to read. It will require multiple readings and additional study. The topic tackled
in the book is made clearer through the over 700 images. Reading this book is an opportunity to become an expert Florin-Eugen
endodontist and leader on CBCT technology. Constantinescu
