Abstract:
Intraoral cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), otherwise known as volume imaging CT scan, provides 3-dimensional images of mandibular and maxillary structures. These images offer highly accurate and valuable diagnostic information to facilitate treatment planning for implant cases. This article serves as a primer on how to read and interpret CBCT cross sectional views. It identifies anatomic structures of interest and discusses their clinical relevance.
