“…Hence, cone beam CT was accepted rapidly by endodontics shortly after its introduction to the dental field. 25 CBCT in endodontics requires exceptionally images with high resolution and details to visualize the details of the root canal system and its surrounding periodontium (Figure 5). Since high resolution images come at the expense of increased radiation dose, only small field of view CBCT scans are suggested for the diagnosis and management of endodontic lesions.…”

In this period of advanced technology, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was embraced into the dental settings very rapidly and has gained popularity in the field of oral radiology due to its advantages over conventional two-dimensional (2D) radiography, such as its relatively compact size, low cost, low ionizing radiation exposure when compared to multi detector computed tomography (MDCT). This paper provides an overview of the basic principles of CBCT technology and reviews its current advances on the specific application to the oral and maxillofacial region.

“…In this regard, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) enables visualization of bone levels with its three-dimensional imaging technique that provides axial, coronal, and sagittal multi-planner images [ 7 ]. CBCT used in dental implant treatment planning can help evaluate alveolar ridge, proximity to vital anatomical structures, and the fabrication of surgical guides [ 8 ].…”

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the implant placement risk levels in partially edentulous patients using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and implant planning software. Materials and methods: A total of 101 CBCT scans of partially edentulous patients were included. Evaluations of jawbone anatomy, vital structures' proximity, and the risk of inferior alveolar nerve injury with esthetic considerations were done on CBCT images using implant surgery software (Blue Sky Plan 4; Blue Sky Bio, Grayslake, IL). Results: A total of 101 patients with 106 edentulous sites were examined. The mean ridge height of the non-esthetic zone was 10 mm and 14.4 mm in the maxilla and mandible, respectively. The period of edentulousness significantly affected the risk of placing implants in the non-esthetic zone (P<.05). The relation between gender and mandibular canal identification was significant (P<.01). A higher risk of implant placement is associated with a more extended period of edentulousness. The preoperative assessment revealed that the mandibular canal could be identified more easily in females than males; thus, nerve injury could be avoided. However, age had no associated effect. Conclusion: Age has no associated effect on the implant placement risk levels for partially edentulous patients during dental implant planning. A higher risk of implant placement is associated with a more extended period of edentulousness. Mandibular canal identification during virtual preoperative assessment was higher in females.

The Alt-RAMEC protocol was introduced by Liou in the year 2005. It allows for sutural mobilisation by opening and closing the RME screw for 7-9 weeks. Maxillary protraction after the use of Alt-Ramec (alternate rapid maxillary expansion and contraction) protocol is an efficient method for early treatment of skeletal Class III malocclusion. This case report shows the results of using a hyrax bonded maxillary expander with the Alt-RAMEC protocol to treat a maxillary hypoplasia Class III malocclusion. A 12-year-old patient with skeletal class III malocclusion with anterior as well as the unilateral posterior crossbite was treated using this protocol. CBCT scans were taken before and after expansion. These CBCT scans were used for assessing and analysing the skeletal changes that have occurred after using the AltRamec protocol. The objective of this case report is to assess skeletal changes after using the Alt-RAMEC protocol.
