Abstract

Panoramic radiography and computed tomography have always aided dental surgeons to arrive at a diagnosis. With the arrival of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), dental practice has seen a radical change. All search engines especially PUBMED indexed journals were searched for articles that were related to CBCT and published in the last decade. This review article showcases the prospective uses of CBCT which might prove to be beneficial to the dentist in the fields of endodontics and periodontics.

Keywords: CBCT, computed tomography, diagnosis, obturation, panoramic radiography, radiology
