• Cone -beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a new imaging
technique that generates 3-D images at
• Lesser time
• Lower cost
• Absorbed dose

• In the broadest definition of the term, "3D" would describe any
object that occurs on a three-axis
• X ,Y AND THE Z AXIS
IVertical
• The presence or absence of cortical bone around the mandibular
canal, the bucco lingual relationship between the mandibular canal
and the lower third molar, and the detailed shape of the root might
not be clearly evident on a panoramic radiography
Coronal Axial
• CBCT is superior to panoramic radiography as condylar and
coronoid fractures and the anterior part of the mandible were
more difficult to detect due to superimposition
• CBCT have a high capacity for detection of mandibular bone
tissue invasion in patients
• Deviated nasal septum
RECONSTRUCTED
AXIAL
• In 2D since there is magnification and
superimposition ,CBCT can be considered
as a potential tool for age estimation in
forensic dentistry
• Rapid scan time -12-21 secs
• Image accuracy(1:1ratio)
• CBCT units provide choices for field of view (FOV),
which allows irradiation of particular area of
interest to dentists, while limiting irradiation of
other tissues
• Reduced patient radiation dose compared to
conventional CT
• Interactive display modes(implant window,TMJ)
which are user friendly
• Detection and evaluation of soft tissue lesions are not as clear as
desired
