CBCT in Prosthodontics.
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: CBCT specifically dedicated to imaging the maxillofacial region heralds a true paradigm shift from a 2D to a 3D approach to data acquisition and image reconstruction. While Cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT) was developed in the 1990s as an evolutionary process resulting from the demand for three-dimensional (3D) information obtained by conventional computerized tomography (CT) scans. Computerized tomography is the technique which gives numerous advantages over the traditional graphic methods. Benefits of this technique are further enlightened when a cone beam computerized technique introduced has application in dental practice mainly. CBCT systems have been designed for imaging hard tissues of the maxillofacial region. The increasing availability of this technology provides the dental technician with an image modality capable of providing a three dimensional representation of the maxillofacial skeleton with minimal distortion. Aim: CBCT could play a crucial role in lessening the burden of hectic Prosthodontics routine for the clinician and critically contribute to accurate and effective treatment for the patient. Conclusion: Although CBCT equipment has existed for a quarter of a century, only over the past decade has it become possible to produce clinical systems that are both inexpensive and small enough to be used. Clinical significance- CBCT is a 21st century modality and it offers an accurate one-to-one measurement that can be made on the images and transferred directly to the surgical field.
