A member asked:
Should i get my own cbct of a molar that has a fistula. this way an apicoectomy can be more precisely done vs. a 2d x-ray the endo. dds already has?

Might be overkill: Your endodontist has prepared him/herself their entire career for moments like these... your failing root canal. Let them do their tasks as they have been trained. If they feel they need the imaging you asked about, they will request it and explain to you why they need it. No need for you to micromanage your care.
