Craniofacial 3D Imaging: Current Concepts in Orthodontics and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Abstract

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) has become an integral component of orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. The leap from 2D to 3D analysis has allowed for a more comprehensive evaluation before, during, and after orthodontic therapy. CBCT has been instrumental in localizing impacted teeth; evaluating asymmetry, airway, and temporomandibular joint anatomy; selecting sites for temporary skeletal anchorage; and assessing root length and alveolar bone dimensions. In this chapter, CBCT imaging and analysis of the orthodontic patient will be discussed.
