After evaluating the studies using the inclusion criteria and eliminating duplicates, 12 articles were included in this review.<h4>Results</h4>CBCT assessment demonstrated a high prevalence of single canals in maxillary incisors, varying root configurations in maxillary first premolars, and diverse anatomical distributions in mandibular molars, such as C-shaped canals, more commonly observed in women.<h4>Conclusion</h4>The findings from this review concluded that CBCT is a valuable tool for the diagnosis and treatment of root canal anomalies in endodontics.The Saudi dental journal780-784https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC10658366biostudies-literatureThe importance of cone-beam computed tomography in endodontic therapy: A review.PMC10658366Kolarkodi SHfalseThe importance of cone-beam computed tomography in endodontic therapy: A review.<h4>Introduction</h4>Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a valuable tool in endodontics, particularly for assessing root morphology.<h4>Aim</h4>To understand the importance of root morphology in endodontic treatment.<h4>Methodology</h4>A comprehensive search of various databases was performed, and 804 studies were identified.
