Abstract

The Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a valuable resource in dental practice because it enables the establishment of a precise treatment plan through diagnostic imaging. CBCT creates new diagnostic resources in dentistry and has been established as a valuable technique in endodontics, oral surgery, and orthodontics specialties. This technology has become an indispensable diagnostic tool applied in different clinical applications, including the evaluation of the receptor site of osseointegrated implants and bone defects, bone graft procedures, assessment of impacted teeth, orthodontic and endodontic planning, investigation of temporomandibular disorders, procedures of sinus augmentations, and orthognathic surgeries. The development and rapid commercialization of CBCT technology dedicated to imaging the maxillofacial region will undoubtedly increase dental practitioners' access to 3D radiographic assessments in clinical dental practice.
