EXCECUTION OF CBCT IN ORTHODONTIC DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT PLANNING

Abstract

Since a precise diagnosis and well-thought-out treatment plan are essential to any medical intervention, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was developed and is now extensively utilized. With the use of CBCT technology, one may view images in three dimensions and determine the precise location and size of lesions in any anatomical region. For the same reason, CBCT can be utilized for optimal treatment planning and efficient dental care not only in surgical disciplines but also in fields like endodontics, prosthodontics, and orthodontics. This review's objective is to provide dental professionals with up-to-date information on CBCT applications across all dental specialties, enabling them to make better informed diagnoses and consistent treatment decisions.
