Abstract :
To get the volumetric data of the maxillary and the mandibular dental arches, the teeth itself, the morphology of the bone, to get the imaging and extent of the bony defects that too with low radiation, cone beam computed tomography plays a major role. CBCT is very much helpful in detecting the three dimensional view of the alveolar bone, helpful in getting the quite accurate extent of the bony defects, helpful in some of the difficult cases of root canal treatment where the dentist is not been able to find the actual curvature of the canal or where the accessory canal has been missed from the primary canal. This technique cone beam computed tomography provides the image to the dentist with minimal of distortion.
