Purpose:
To investigate the treatment of impacted maxillary teeth with localization via cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Methods:
Eleven cases with impacted maxillary teeth on X-ray examination were selected from 2009 to 2010. The impacted maxillary teeth were scanned by CBCT.The three-dimensional images of impacted maxillary teeth were obtained by multiplanar reconstructions (MPR) to determine the location of impacted teeth.
Results:
CBCT and MPR can demonstrate the morphology and location and growing state of the impacted maxillary teeth.
Conclusion:
CBCT and MPR are the most accurate and effective methods to localize the impacted maxillary teeth.

The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
