Tomography, Volume 10, Issue 8

2024 August - 10 articles

Cover Story: Tomography in dentistry is best represented by the dental panoramic radiograph (DPR) and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Although the DPR is older, in this era of aerosol-dispensed viruses, its superior overview of the jaws is complemented by its extra-oral bitewing spin-off to detect caries. CBCT is barely two decades old and has impacted almost every area of dentistry, such as pre-implant planning, endodontics, and the removal of difficult unerupted teeth. The last is displayed on the cover image of a 3-D large field-of-view CBCT. The mandibular canal is plotted (in green) so that it can be identified in cross-sectional reconstructions and thus not violated by subsequent surgery. Both DPR and CBCT are important in the identity of atherosclerosis in the carotids. Artificial intelligence has been applied to both modalities. View this paper
