Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) designed for imaging of the dento facial region is a true
shift from 2D to 3D imaging. The word tomography is derived from two Greek words tomos (slices)
and graphien (write). CBCT was developed as an alternative to conventional CT to provide rapid
acquisition of data of the entire FOV and there is comparatively less radiation exposure. It produces
high resolution 3D images in thin, thick or curved slices in axial, saggital and coronal planes. CBCT is
a valuable tool for endodontic diagnosis and treatment planning as well as for assessing apical
periodontitis, resorption, root fractures, root canal anatomy, perforations and the nature of the alveolar
bone around the teeth.
