The Guidance of CBCT in the Interdisciplinary Orthodontic-Surgical Diagnosis
Objectives: To evaluate the utilization of the 3D imaging modality of CBCT compared to the 2D conventional radiography to improve the diagnosis and outcomes of the treatment procedures.
Methods: The clinical cases presented with functional and aesthetic issues related to impacted teeth in our university clinic are evaluated first from the panoramic radiography and when it was not sufficient for the clinical assessment, diagnosis, risk compilations and treatment options we have chosen the CBCT as a supplementary method to use as a guidance to gather all the valuable data related to orthodontic-surgical management of the cases.
Results: 3D imaging (CBCT) provides complementary information for the localization of impacted teeth, presence of supernumerary teeth, root morphology, and angulation, proximity to the vital anatomical structures of the jaws and alveolar boundaries and also the presence and localization of jaw cysts.
Conclusions: The management of interdisciplinary cases is often complex and requires accuracy in the clinical evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment planning. In all cases, the guidance of CBCT was efficient in diagnosis, choosing the right treatment option and successful outcomes.
