CBCT IN ENDODONTICS

Cone beam computed tomography is a new era in three dimensional world, modified from the computed tomography (CT) concept, involving the single rotation of an X-ray source around the dental subject. The data are analysed and reconstructed using a CT-based algorithm to create a volume of data, which can be viewed in three planes (axial, sagittal and coronal) and multiple alternative planes on manipulation of the data Acquisition of image is rapid and uses technology, which is becoming relatively affordable. A three-dimensional visualization of the region of interest is obtained in sufficient detail to localize teeth and adjacent anatomy in a manner, which is simply not achievable with conventional, 2D radio graphic film imaging.
