  • Title: Cone-beam CT: applications in orthodontics.
    Author: Hechler SL.
    Journal: Dent Clin North Am; 2008 Oct; 52(4):809-23, vii. PubMed ID: 18805230.
    Abstract:
    Radiographic images have always been an important part of orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. We have been limited by the two-dimensional nature of these radiographs as we pursue tooth movement in a three-dimensional fashion. This article shows the current and future uses and advantages of cone-beam CT in the practice of orthodontics. The use of this technology in the near future will change the way records are taken and treatment is rendered. With this added diagnostic knowledge, orthodontic treatment will assuredly become not only more high tech but also higher quality.
