Abstract

Cone-beam CT is an exciting development in dental and maxillofacial imaging. It has provided astounding new images that continually contribute to the accuracy of diagnostic tasks of the maxillofacial region. It is gaining rapid acceptance in dentistry because it provides cross-sectional imaging that is often a valuable supplement to intraoral and panoramic radiographs. Multiplanar imaging is a fairly new concept in diagnostic imaging available with a number of contemporary imaging modalities. It has created a revolution in maxillofacial imaging, facilitating the transition of dental imaging from 2D to 3D images and expanding the role of imaging from diagnosis to image guidance of operative and surgical procedures via third party applications software. The present article reviews the CBCT technology and its application in clinical practice.
