Resumen
La Tomografía Computarizada de Haz Cónico (CBCT) representa una promisoria herramienta para la clínica odontológica. En Endodoncia, CBCT ofrece tridimensionalidad y resolución imagenológica, potenciando el diagnóstico de diferentes condiciones patológicas. Sin embargo, su limitación por sobreexposición a radiación, ha llevado a directrices que recomiendan cautela para su indicación. Se presenta un caso infrecuente de un molar mandibular con una sola raíz y canal, y las circunstancias de uso de CBCT. Mujer de 48 años es derivada para endodoncia del primer molar mandibular izquierdo permanente. El examen radiográfico preoperatorio demostró el hallazgo inusual de un canal centrado en una única raíz. Con la información apropiada y el consentimiento de la paciente, la indicación de CBCT favoreció su diagnóstico y tratamiento. CBCT no debería ser utilizada rutinariamente para estos fines, pero podría justificarse en casos "fronterizos". Se discuten su indicación e implementación clínica, siguiendo actuales recomendaciones y directrices.
