Opis

CBCT provides a definite advantage over other techniques due to its low radiation dose to patient, smaller equipment and ability to provide multiplanar reformation and 3D images. CBCT has emerged as an ideal alternative because of the lower cost compared to multislice CT for the examination of TMJ, although it may be more sensitive to motion artifacts. The use of CBCT to estimate the bony components of the TMJ is rapidly increasing. This novel technology is an extremely important diagnostic tool, and its popularity is gradually increasing.
