Abstract

Our chapter aims to illustrate the processing of CBCT software: This software allows the reconstruction of 2D and 3D images. We show that, thanks to these reconstructions, you can generate panorex and cross-sectional images and the path of the maxillary nerve and we provide a detailed “how to do” guide. We illustrate that, through the software, it is possible to measure the density of alveolar bone, useful for preimplantology evaluation.
