CBCT – Cone Beam Computed Tomography
Journal Title: Journal of Academy of Dental Education - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Dental X- Rays are important for diagnosing and treating patients by helping to detect oral health issues when they can't be detected by visual or physical examination alone. Dental X-Ray take a much closer look and provide valuable information in the area of interest. Though 2 Dimensional X-Ray and Panoramic radiography can predict diagnosis in number of clinical cases, certain situations demand multiplanar imaging, one such technology is CBCT. CBCT is a specialised 3Dimensional Craniofacial imaging in which 3 Dimensional reconstruction is possible. The final reconstructed image produced, reveals multilayer images in 3 orthogonal planes (coronal, sagittal and transverse) This article focuses on CBCT and its applications in various fields of dentistry.
