New imaging technologies advance in dentistry are turning out to be progressively well known for determination and treatment appraisal [1]. 3D computed tomography (CT) which is cross-sectional methodology, intrinsically dodges the superimposition and issues because of amplification and offers to visualize of the craniofacial structures with more accuracy than the 2D technique [2,3].
In dentistry, to get pictures from the beginning, medical CT (MDCT) was utilized for this reason. Concentrates on MDCT demonstrated the way that 3D CT examination can be performed exact and dependable evaluations for dental techniques [4]. Regardless of these benefits, the effective dose of MDCT is a lot higher than the customary radiographs which are utilizing dental and maxillofacial imaging. This delivers its utilization for routine assessments (particularly those for cephalometric investigation and growth assessments) unmerited. Additionally, MDCT is also expensive technique and scanners are not effectively open by dental specialists and small clinics for maxillofacial imaging (Figure 1).
Somewhat recently, another procedure called as cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was proposed for the maxillofacial imaging which was first revealed in the writing by Mozzo P, et al [5]. A CBCT scan utilizes an alternate kind of obtaining that the tradition MDCTs. The x- ray source delivers a cone formed x- ray beam and this makes it conceivable catch the image in a solitary shot, as opposed to catching cut independently as in MDCT. The advantages of this imaging methodology are; substantially more lower radiation portion than MDCT, the chance of individualized overlap free reconstructions and DICOM information can be in-and exported for different applications. In addition, this imaging innovation permits 3D imaging and data on 3rd dimensional which offers to picture of the craniofacial and dental designs for maxillofacial careful applications and orthodontics use.
