Abstract
Stationary intraoral tomosynthesis (s-IOT) is an innovative imaging modality designed to overcome limitations of conventional bitewing radiography, notably proximal overlap. Based on carbon nanotube field emission technology, s-IOT acquires multiple projections across a 12° span and reconstructs them into high-resolution tomographic slices. Research indicates lower radiation dose compared to standard techniques and improved detection of proximal caries, periodontal bone loss, root fractures, and complex root morphologies including the direction and degree of dilaceration. Integration with synthetic radiography reduces artifacts and enhances interpretation. Future developments combining s-IOT with artificial intelligence and dual-energy imaging may further expand diagnostic potential, positioning s-IOT as a promising clinical tool.
