Applications of CBCT in Orthodontics

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Maxillofacial Cone Beam Computed Tomography

Abstract

Radiographic imaging is an integral component of the overall assessment of the orthodontic patient. The purpose of imaging in orthodontics is to provide additional information supporting the clinical diagnosis of skeletal and dental conditions, soft tissues and their interrelationships. The introduction of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to orthodontics facilitates the diagnostic and treatment planning process by providing three dimensional information of the anatomy and morphology of the maxillofacial complex. By fusing optical surface scanning and other digital inputs to the CBCT scafold a 3D virtual patient environment can now be created. The purpose of this Chapter is to underline the the role and case specific advantages of CBCT imaging in Orthodontics. In addition, guidelines for appropriate use of CBCT imaging are presented and 3D cephalometric analyses introduced. Finally comprehensive radiographic evamination of CBCT volumes is emphasized by the use of imaging protocols, with attention to the upper airway and temporomandibular articulation
