CBCT & It's Implications In Pediatric Dentistry. 3D Imaging

      Аннотация: CBCT technology aids in the diagnosis of pathosis, canal morphology, assessing root and alveolar fractures, analysis of resorptive lesions, identification of pathosis of non-endodontic origin, and pre-surgical assessment before root-end surgery. When compared with medical CT, CBCT has increased accuracy, higher resolution, reduced scan time, a reduction in radiation dose, and reduced cost for the patient. When compared with conventional peri-apical radiography, CBCT eliminates superimposition of surrounding structures, providing additional clinically relevant information .However, despites it’s numerous advantages over conventional radiography and medical CT, it should not be used for routine diagnosis or for screening purposes and according to the American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology (AAOMR), this 3D imaging modality should only be used when the question for which imaging is required cannot be answered adequately by lower-dose conventional dental radiography or alternate imaging modalities.
