Abstract: X-rays are an effective method to diagnose alterations in hard tissues, which is why they are used in dental treatments; in Endodontics they are very useful. Pregnant women receive comprehensive dental care that includes pulpo-radicular treatments. The objective was: to describe the theoretical basis for the use of radiographs in pregnant women in need of endodontic treatment. A bibliographic review was carried out taking into account the most up-to-date scientific literature on the subject. 19 bibliographies were used. For the development of the research, the methods of documentary analysis, analytical-synthetic, and historical-logical analysis were used. The biological and clinical effects of X-rays, embryonic stages and their susceptibility to radiation, the use of X-rays in pregnant women and protective measures were presented. X-rays are not contraindicated in endodontic treatments in pregnant women, and are recommended in the second and third trimester of pregnancy
