“…With the optimization of medical technology, CT scan 3D reconstruction technology is gradually popularized in the diagnosis and treatment of maxillofacial fractures [ 14 ]. With the powerful postprocessing capabilities, it can rebuild the maxillofacial fracture, enable the doctor to understand the fracture location, fracture line direction, and fracture displacement [ 15 ]. Thus, it provides a more scientific imaging basis for the treatment plans.…”

Purpose The aim of the study was to explore the application value of computerized tomography (CT) scan 3D reconstruction technology in maxillofacial fracture patients. Methods A total of 80 maxillofacial fracture patients who underwent surgical treatment in Shijiazhuang People's Hospital from January 2019 to January 2020 were enrolled. All of them received 128-slice spiral CT scans before surgery, and the images were subjected to multiplanar reconstruction (MRP) and volume reconstruction (VR). Results A total of 181 fractures were found in 80 patients with maxillofacial fractures. The detection rates of axial CT, MRP, and VR were 77.90% (141/181), 93.92% (170/181), and 97.79% (177/181), respectively. The detection rates of the four inspection methods were statistically different. Taking the findings of surgical anatomy as the gold standard, the sensitivity of MRP and VR for the diagnosis of maxillofacial fractures was 90.06% (163/170) and 95.56% (174/177), with no significant difference. Conclusion CT scan 3D reconstruction technology has a high application value in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of maxillofacial fracture patients.

“…In recent years, computed tomography (CT) has enabled better accuracy assessment of face fractures. It boosted and made imaging examination to present the best details, enabling the surgeon to view structures in three dimensions 1,2 . Fracture traces, location, extension and displacement of fragments are evaluated in sections without image overlap 1 .…”

Aim: Evaluation of the reliability of 3D computed tomography (3D-CT) in the diagnosis of mandibular fractures. Methods: A cross-sectional, quantitative and qualitative study was carried out, through the application of a questionnaire for 70 professionals in the area of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Radiology. 3D-CT images of mandibular fractures were delivered to the interviewees along with a questionnaire. Participants answered about the number of traces, the region and the type of fracture. The correct diagnosis, that is, the expected answer, was based on the reports of a specialist in oral and maxillofacial radiology after viewing the images in the axial, sagittal and coronal sections. The resulting data from the interviewees was compared with the expected answer and then, the data was analyzed statistically. Results: In the sample 56.9% were between 22 and 30 years old, 52.8% were oral and maxillofacial surgeons (OMF), 34.7% were residents in OMF surgery and 12.5% OMF radiologists. Each professional answered 15 questions (related to five patients) and 50.8% of the total of these was answered correctly. Specialists in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Traumatology correctly answered 53.9%. Interviewees with experience between 6 and 10 years correctly answered 58.2%. In identifying fracture traces, 46.1% of the questions were answered correctly. In terms of location, 5.6% of interviewees answered wrongly while 14.2% answered wrongly regarding classification. Conclusion: 3D computed tomography did not prove to be a reliable image for diagnosing mandibular fractures when used alone. This made necessary an association with axial, sagittal and coronal tomographic sections.

Besides of the diagnostics, frequently other aim of this examination is the preoperative surgical planning for orthognathic operation [41], which needs special 3D cephalometric software.…”

The daily application of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) has been increasing. Not only the number of referrals has been raising, but also the variety of the anatomical regions requested for imaging is also growing in the dentomaxillofacial area. Even though computed tomography (CT) has been widely used in the head and neck region, by the invention of CBCT, some of the drawbacks of CT were overcome and turned into the advantages of the CBCT appliances, such as lower patient dose. In this chapter, we provide a comprehensive picture of the everyday use of CBCT as a modality in the dentomaxillofacial region and its current limitations and expected improvements.
