Abstract:

Imaging in dentistry has always been an important aspect in assessing the dental diseases in conjunction with clinical assessment. CBCT (cone beam computed tomography) ideal in capturing images of hard tissues especially in the maxillofacial region has revolutionized the imaging modality in dentistry from conventional 2D IOPAs to 3D scans and is of great use in all the fields of dentistry. It has also expanded its role of imaging, from only diagnosis to guiding various operative and surgical procedures. In endodontics, Identify anatomic and pathologic alterations, Iatrogenic root perforation, Internal & external resorption, Accessory canal identification, Vertical root fractures and surgical management of fractured instrument. Dental Trauma CBCT identifies dental root fractures and the displacement, luxation injuries & avulsion. Dental Implant CBCT provides information concerning all structures (the mandibular and alveolar bone morphology, the maxillary sinuses, incisive canal, mandibular canal, and mental foramina). Cysts/Tumors/Acute Infections, CBCT shows the actual size of the lesion, its spatial relationship with anatomic landmarks and how far the lesion may extend from the oral cavity into the base of the skull, cervical, spine, paranasal sinuses or nasopharynx. Orthognathic Surgery for complex cases, particularly those requiring combined orthodontic/surgical management, CBCT may be justified. Orthodontics CBCT offers an undistorted view to accurately visualize both erupted and non-erupted teeth, tooth root orientation and anomalous structures. Temporomandibular Joint Fibrous and bony ankylosis, tumors and tumor-like conditions in the region of the TMJ are also well seen with CBCT.
