EVALUATING THE POTENTIAL CLINICAL APPLICATIONS OF CONE BEAM COMPUTERISED TOMOGRAPHY IN ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY: A REVIEW
Keywords:
Cone beam computerized tomography, conventional computed tomography, panoramic radiography, 3D imaging, oral and maxillofacial surgery
Abstract
While oral and maxillofacial surgeons have successfully practiced using panoramic radiography, the limitations of this imaging technique include variable magnification, distortion, superimposition of structures, and suboptimal imaging of structures not located in the focal trough. The introduction of Cone Beam Technology has dramatically changed how an oral and maxillofacial surgeon conducts his/her practice. This article is intended to discuss the potential clinical applications of Cone-beam computerized tomography as compared to conventional radiography and conventional computed tomography, in the field of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, as reported in the literature.
