Abstract:
Orthodontics and cone beam computed tomography technology have evolved tremendously in the last 10 years. The technology has evolved from a predominantly diagnostic entity to a true clinical and translational product. One can believe that this technology is here to stay and it has a real role to revolutionize the efficiency and effectiveness of orthodontic care. This article discusses the current advancements and use of cone beam computed tomography.
