Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the majority of academic and professional fields, digital dentistry has been growing steadily and is now pervasive. Digital technology has recently revolutionized almost all areas of dentistry. In terms of quality, increased effectiveness, time savings, and cost savings, digital dentistry has a lot to offer.
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging can induce precise and clear three-dimensional (3D) images. Both diagnosis and treatment planning benefit from the use of CBCT images; enhanced planning and more confidence in diagnosing are a few of its advantages. CBCT is useful in all dentistry areas for dentomaxillofacial imaging: maxillofacial surgery, implantology, image-guided surgery, orthodontics, endodontics, periodontics, and prosthodontics, aiding in obtaining an accurate image. Obstructive sleep apnea can also benefit from CBCT imaging. Compared to other technologies such as conventional X-rays and medical CT scans, CBCT has many positive aspects, among which are image accuracy, short scan time, interactive display, image detail, and beam limitation.
This Special Issue’s objective is to collect the most recent innovative dental sources into a cohesive body of evidence using current CBCT images in diagnosis and treatment planning, as a guide for potential innovative research in the future.
Academics, professionals, researchers, and enthusiastic practitioners in the field of dentistry are invited to submit articles for this Special Issue. We invite you to submit review articles, randomized clinical trials, original articles, prospective or retrospective studies, short communications, and case reports that highlight the contribution of cutting-edge digitization to dentistry. We warmly invite you to join us and look forward to receiving your submission.
