Abstract:
Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has transformed forensic odontology by contributing high-resolution, low-dose, three-dimensional imaging capabilities. This review emphasizes the applications of CBCT in forensic investigations, including personal identification, age estimation, sex determination, bite mark analysis, ancestry estimation, facial reconstruction, and assessment of cranial trauma. CBCT's versatility, precision, and noninvasive nature make it a valuable tool in both postmortem and antemortem investigations. This article also discusses the current limitations of CBCT and outlines future research perspectives in forensic roentgenology.

Computed Tomography
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...
