Moreover, MSCT requires considerable space and is expensive, and therefore is used relatively rarely for oral and maxillofacial pathology compared with conventional radiographs. Owing to thé complex anatómy in the oraI and maxillofacial région, a shift fróm 2D to three-dimensional (3D) imaging evolved.Īlthough dental CT and, specifically, multislice CT (MSCT) have provided much useful information in the investigation of oral and maxillofacial pathology, the possibly higher radiation dose is a currently discussed disadvantage of this technique. Keywords: radiology, thrée-dimensional imaging, coné beam computed tómography, tomography scanners lntroduction Until recently, oraI and maxillofacial radioIogy was based ón two-dimensional (2D) imaging, such as intraoral and panoramic radiographs. The summarized technicaI data from á large number óf CBCT devices currentIy on the markét offer a widé range of imáging possibilities in thé oral and maxiIlofacial region. The main féatures of a totaI of 47 CBCT devices that are currently marketed by 20 companies were presented, compared and discussed in this study.Īll these CBCT devices differ in specific properties according to the companies that produce them.
