Abstract
Cone beam computed tomography is the more recently extraoral imaging introduced.
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) has evolved that allows 3-D visualization of the
oral and maxillofacial complex from any plane. This imaging modality eliminates the
shortcomings of 2-D imaging, produces a smaller radiation dose than that produced by
medical CT and enables clinicians to make more accurate treatment planning decisions,
which can lead to more successful surgical procedures. Questions that cannot be answered
in the dentist’s office with conventional radiographs are now answered in radiology
departments with dental CBCT.
The clinician must determine the risk and benefit of imaging for each patient.
Clinicians are rapidly realizing the significant advantages of CBCT imaging. Factors to
consider in determining whether to purchase a CBCT device or to refer patients to imaging
centers include cost, training, time required to generate images and reports, data
transmission and storage,and responsibility for interpretation and pathology review.
The overall goal of this article is to provide dental professionals with information on
the introduction of radiographic imaging to dentistry of dental imaging towards 3-dimensional
imaging with cone-beam CT.
