Seeing The Unseen : Conebeam Volumetric Tomography And Endodontics: A Review Article.

ABSTRACT

Cone beam volumetric tomography (CBVT) or cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a diagnostic imaging technology that is changing the way dental practioners view the oral and maxillofacial complex as well as teeth and the surrounding tissues. CBVT has been specifically designed to produce undistorted three dimensional images similar to computed tomography (CT), but at a lower equipment cost, simpler image acquisition and lower patient radiation dose. This article highlights the CBVT application in endodontics and its treatment outcome.
