Role of cone beam computed tomography in dental diagnosis and treatment planning: An update
Journal Title: IP International Journal of Maxillofacial Imaging - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Diagnostic treatment planning is crucial to achieve optimal success in oral rehabilitation and this will be impossible without assistance of diagnostic imaging For this reason cone beam computed tomography CBCT was introduced and is known for its accuracy and variegated clinical importance In current era conebeam tomography is aiding in the process of diagnosis by dispensing an exorbitant three dimensional image CBCT not only be used in surgical fields endodontics prosthodontics and orthodontics for appropriate treatment planning and effective dental care but also in forensics and radiotherapy The clinical significance of this review is to update dental clinicians about CBCT applications in several fields of dental sciencesKeywords Cone beam computed tomography Pathology Radiology Threedimensional Imaging
