Latest 3D Cone Beam Computed Tomography and its Applications in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) has revolutionized orthodontics by providing high-resolution three-dimensional imaging, enabling accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. This book examines CBCT's crucial role in orthodontic practice, especially in identifying impacted teeth, craniofacial anomalies, and airway issues. The technology’s applications in managing temporomandibular joint disorders and planning maxillary expansions are explored, along with its utility in determining optimal sites for skeletal anchorage devices. Despite its advantages, the book stresses the importance of evaluating radiation exposure and justifying the use of CBCT in clinical settings. This work serves as a valuable guide for practitioners and students in the field.
