Summary
Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is now the preferred imaging method for diagnosing dental impactions and structural anomalies. This review details CBCT findings for precise diagnosis and interpretation.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Radiology
- Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology
Background:
- Traditional dental radiography (periapical, occlusal, panoramic, cephalometric) has long been used for diagnosing dental anomalies.
- Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has emerged as a specialized imaging modality for the dental and maxillofacial region.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review dental impaction and structural dental anomalies using CBCT.
- To analyze characteristic features and imaging findings for precise diagnosis.
Main Methods:
- Review of literature on CBCT applications in dentistry.
- Systematic analysis of imaging findings for dental impaction and anomalies.
Main Results:
- CBCT is the imaging modality of choice for assessing dental impaction, structural teeth anomalies, and associated conditions like Gardner's syndrome and cleidocranial dysplasia.
- CBCT effectively visualizes effects on adjacent structures, including external root resorption and marginal bone loss.
Conclusions:
- CBCT provides crucial diagnostic information for dental impactions and structural anomalies.
- Understanding CBCT characteristic features aids general radiologists in optimal interpretation and diagnosis.

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...

The ability of a drug to produce structural deformations and functional abnormalities in the developing embryo or the fetus is called teratogenicity, and the drug producing this effect is known as a teratogen. Teratogenic effects include stillbirth, miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, and neurocognitive delay. A teratogen may affect the embryo at different stages of development, which is important in determining the type and extent of the damage. During blastocyst formation, the early...

The oral cavity, or the mouth, is a complex structure in humans that plays a vital role in our day-to-day lives. Its role is not only in chewing and swallowing food; it also plays a role in speech and facial expressions.
Teeth: The teeth are the hardest structures in our bodies. Humans have two sets of teeth throughout their lifetime: deciduous (baby) teeth and permanent teeth. Each tooth consists of several parts: the crown (visible part), the root (embedded in the jaw), enamel (hard outer...
