3D reconstruction images of cone beam computed tomography in dental medicine application: A case study and mini-review

J Xray Sci Technol. 2016 Oct 6;24(5):673-680. doi: 10.3233/XST-160596.

Abstract

Dental cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a new approach in diagnosis and predication of various dental diseases, including trauma, congenital defects, tumors and inflammatory. In this study, we reported the outcome of CBCT for a complicated case of malocclusion, accompanied with tooth loss and periodontitis. A combined application of CBCT with 3D-static images and rotated reconstruction images is reviewed as a systematic model in diagnosis, treatment and progonsis of a complex malocclusion.

Keywords: 3D reconstructions images; CBCT; dental medicine application; malocclusion.
