      abstract = {Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) has become an essential tool in diagnostic endodontics, especially in assessing healing outcomes after apical surgery. Two-dimensional radiography often lacks sensitivity and usually shows anatomical superimposition underlying the changes in the periapical area. CBCT, on the contrary, offers three-dimensional images in which clinicians can view the periapical tissues and the healing of the bones much more accurately and reliably. Several authors have concluded that CBCT may reveal instances of incomplete or delayed healing that periapical radiographs may not show, thus permitting early treatment and accurate prognosis evaluation. It also avoids misinterpretation of cases by distinguishing between scar tissue and persistent periapical pathology. Despite this being a consideration, with responsible use, it is worth prioritizing in follow-up cases of the more complex surgical ones. Therefore, CBCT becomes a real game changer in the evaluation of healing following apical surgery and equally plays an important role in evidence-based endodontics.},
