background: cone beam computed tomography (cbct) is an alternative to a computed tomography (ct) scan, which is appropriate for a wide range of craniomaxillofacial indications. the long‑term use of metallic materials in dentistry means that artifacts caused by metallic restorations in the oral cavity should be taken into account when utilizing cbct and ct scanners. the aim of this study was to ...

Introdouction: This study investigated the potential relationship between vertical facial growth patterns and airway volumes in a sample of Iranian adult patients. Materials and methods: This cross sectional study was conducted on 72 adult patients (44 females, 28 males), ages 18– 45 years, who had been referred to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology at the Shiraz Univer...

Ashok Balasundaram: Cone beam Computed Tomography imaging of periodontal bone (Under the direction of Dr. André Mol) Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a low-dose, low-cost three dimensional imaging modality used for several oral and maxillofacial applications. This project evaluated the accuracy of Cone-Beam CT imaging to assess periodontal alveolar bone. In Phase I, ground truth measurem...

this report describes the non-surgical treatment of an invaginated maxillary lateral incisor with two fused roots. the mesial root had a c-shaped canal, while the distal one had a type iii dens invagination. cone-beam computed tomography (cbct) was used to help with the diagnosis and treatment decision making. clinical and radiographic follow-up revealed satisfactory periapical repair and absen...

The incidence of condylar fractures is high and the condylar fractures can be seen different types. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), conventional radiographic techniques such as orthopantomography (OPG) can be used in diagnosis of the fracture. CBCT is relatively a new imaging modality and uses commonly in dental implantology. In our study, it is aimed to present detailed the imaging of co...

Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a contemporary, radiological imaging system designed specifically for use on the maxillo-facial skeleton. The system overcomes many of the limitations of conventional radiography by producing undistorted, three-dimensional images of the area under examination. These properties make this form of imaging particularly suitable for use in endodontics. The cli...

Concrescence is a form of twinning, formed by the confluence of cementum of two teeth at the root level. The diagnosis of concrescence has largely relied on the conventional 2D imaging. The 2D imaging has inherent limitations such as distortion and superimposition. Cone-Beam CT eliminates these limitations. The aim of this article was to describe a case of dental abnormality using Cone-Beam CT ...

Purpose: The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence of pituitary calcifications using cone beam computed tomography in a group of Turkish individuals. Material and methods: Cone beam computed tomography scans in the axial, coronal and sagittal planes of the pituitary gland of 284 patients were examined for evidence of pituitary calcification. Results: In the cone beam compute...

Radiographic imaging is essential in diagnosis, treatment planning and follow-up in endodontics. The applications of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in endodontics has been widely reported in the literature.It provides high-quality, accurate threedimensional (3D) representations of the osseous elements of the maxillofacial skeleton. The purpose of this article is to discuss the features, a...
