APPLICATION OF CBCT IN DENTAL IMAGING IN THE FIELD OF PROSTHODONTICS: A REVIEW

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a sophisticated digital imaging method that enables the creation of multiplanar slices of a targeted area and the reconstruction of three-dimensional images of the structures using a cone-shaped rotating X-ray beam combined with mathematical algorithms1,2. The introduction of CBCT has greatly enhanced the ability to visualize the teeth, maxillofacial skeleton, and the spatial relationships between anatomical structures in three dimensions3.
