      abstract = {Vertical root fractures (VRFs) represent a diagnostic challenge in endodontics because of the complex clinical presentation of the problem and inability to see sufficiently through conventional radiographic means. Timely and accurate diagnosis is paramount to plan effective treatment and to save the tooth from being extracted prematurely. Three-dimensional imaging with high resolution and ability to counter the superimposition of anatomical structures is needed for the assessment of VRFs- and this is where CBCT stands out as a preferred imaging modality. The paper discusses the role of cone-beam computed tomography in diagnosing vertical root fractures vis-?-vis traditional periapical radiography. It also covers the diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of CBCT, bringing an awareness of clinical concerns and limitations of CBCT such as radiation exposure and artifacts. Evidence to date favors the view that CBCT significantly improves diagnostic accuracy, yet careful case selection and strict adherence to the ALARA principle always remain necessary.},
