Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) or cone-beam volumetric tomography (CB VT) is a diagnostic imaging technology that is changing the way dental practitioners view the oral and maxillofacial complex as well as teeth and the surrounding tissues. CBCT has been specifically designed to produce undistorted three dimensional images similar to computed tomography (CT), but at a lower equipment cost, simpler image acquisition and lower patient radiation dose. This article highlights the CBCT application in dentistry.
