Cone-beam Volumetric Imaging in Dental, Oral and Maxillofacial Medicine: Fundamentals, Diagnostics and Treatment Planning

From Dentistry Made Simple Dentistry Made Simple

A comprehensive overview of Cone-beam Volumetric Imaging (CBVI) and its applications in dental, oral, and maxillofacial medicine. The text establishes that while conventional radiology provides only two-dimensional images, three-dimensional diagnostics like CBVI are crucial for accurate spatial orientation and detailed assessment, overcoming limitations of high cost and radiation exposure associated with traditional computed tomography (CT). Several chapters are dedicated to the practical utility of CBVI across various fields, including orthodontic diagnostics, implantology, maxillary surgery, trauma management (fractures), and the detection of pathological bone lesions and periodontal diseases. Furthermore, the sources explore the technical aspects of CBVI, contrasting it with CT, detailing image quality requirements, and discussing factors that influence image quality, such as patient positioning and metallic restorations.
