CBCT: Third eye in dentistry
Journal Title: IP Indian Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Research - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Cone beam computed tomography CBCT has been one of the most revolutionary innovations in the field of dentistry Comprehensive visualization and records of the craniofacial complex have been goals in dentistry These approaches have evolved dentofacial imaging These tasks have been performed by means of plaster digital photographs across time and conebeam computed tomography CBCT has emerged as a comprehensive imaging technology for dentistry Two dimensional radiographs are insufficient especially in complex cases like impacted teeth supernumerary teeth and surgeries CBCT images provide better detailed information than conventional 2D radiographs and are user friendly Soft tissues skull airway and the dentition can be observed and measured on CBCT images in a 11 ratio This article focuses on numerous applications of cone beam volumetric technology in dentistryKeywordsnbspCBCT 3D imaging technology Diagnosis Dentistry Implant
