Cone Beam Computed Tomography

Cone Beam Computed Tomography has been revolutionized in dentistry as a modern 3D imaging modality. It heralds a true paradigm shift from the conventional 2D to 3D approach involving data acquisition and image reconstruction. The introduction of CBCT is breakthrough and has been a radical change in dentistry because of superior image quality, wide diagnostic applications and improved compliance for patients. The ability to scan the area of interest in a shorter duration of time and thereby reduction in motion artifacts is considered as one of the major advantages of CBCT in dentistry. CBCT is available in many software formats and configurations and has been found helpful in a multitude of dental disciplines. This book entitled as ¿CONE BEAM COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY: Imaging in Dentistry¿ comprises fundamental principles of CBCT, its applications and clinical considerations.
