CBCT overcomes limitations of traditional two-dimensional and enables accurate depiction multiplanar details maxillofacial bony structures surrounding soft tissues. In this review article, we provide an updated status on summarise technical features currently used scanner models, extending to recent developments technology, clinical aspects, regulatory perspectives dose optimisation, dosimetry, diagnostic reference levels. We also consider outlook potential techniques along with issues should be resolved providing clinically more effective examinations are optimised for benefit patient.
