Cone Beam Computed Tomography in Orthodontics –Review
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 4
Abstract
Computed tomography (CT) offered the medical and dental community great opportunity to enhance the diagnosis and treatment planning through non-invasive three-dimensional imaging technologies. Initially high radiation exposure to patients, high equipment costs and complexity in image capture and interpretation limited the use of helical CT’s orthodontic applications. The advent of cone-beam CT (CBCT) technology in the late 1990’s removed many of the hurdles. The clinical applications of CBCT in dentistry are then discussed as evidenced in the literature. Several important applications in different dental specialities are detailed including tooth impaction, TMJ imaging, maxillofacial surgery, jaw defects, dental implant rehabilitation, endodontic and orthodontics.
