The digital revolution is changing the world, and dentistry is no exception. The introduction of a whole range of digital devices (intraoral, extraoral, face scanners and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) with low dose radiation) and processing software

Four methodologies were evaluated for quantifying kilovoltage cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) dose: the Cone-Beam Dose Index (CBDI), IAEA Report 5 recommended methodology (IAEA), the AAPM Task Group 111 methodology (TG111), and the current dose metric; the Computed Tomography Dose Index (CTDI) on two commercial Varian cone-beam CT imaging systems; the Clinac iX On-Board Imager (OBI); and t...

Due to the great number of structures in the maxillofacial region, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is an important procedure in presurgical planning for removal of impacted teeth. Most of the information provided by this imaging technique cannot be visualized in conventional radiographs. In addition, CBCT reduces patient exposure to radiation in comparison with helical computed tomography ...

Despite numerous advantages over multislice computed tomography (MSCT), including a lower radiation dose to the patient, shorter acquisition times, affordable cost, and sometimes greater detail with isotropic voxels used in reconstruction, allowing precise measurements, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is still controversial regarding bone quality evaluation. This paper presents a brief rev...

introduction: an overlooked but important part of successful root canal treatment is a straight-line access (sla). the purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the efficacy of introfile and prerace rotary instruments with gates glidden (gg) drills in gaining sla by cone-beam computed tomography (cbct). methods and materials: a total of forty five extracted mandibular first molars were sele...

With the advances in the field of imaging sciences, new methods have been developed in dental radiology. These include digital radiography, density analyzing methods, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, and nuclear imaging techniques, which provide high-resolution detailed images of oral structures. The current review aims to critically elaborate the us...

Conventional radiographs used for the management of endodontic problems yield limited information because of the two-dimensional nature of images produced, geometric distortion and anatomical noise. These factors often act in combination. This review paper assesses the limitations of periapical radiographs and seeks to clarify three-dimensional imaging techniques that have been suggested as adj...

Today, we are in a world of innovations, and there are various diagnostics aids that help to take a decision regarding treatment in a well-planned way. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has been a vital tool for imaging diagnostic tool in orthodontics. This article reviews case reports during orthodontic treatment and importance of CBCT during the treatment evaluation.

abstract: cone-beam computed tomography (cbct) has been accepted as a useful tool for diagnosis and treatment in endodontics. despite a growing trend toward using cbct in endodontic practice the cbct images should be interpreted carefully. this case report presents a case that showed radiolucency inside and around a tooth which was free of pathologic changes under a dental operative microscope ...

introduction: the aim of the present in vitro study was to compare the accuracy of cone-beam computed tomography (cbct) in determining root canal morphology of mandibular first molars in comparison with staining and clearing technique. methods and materials: cbct images were taken from 96 extracted human mandibular first molars and the teeth were then evaluated based on vertucci’s classificatio...
