Modern dental imaging: a review of the current technology and clinical applications in dental practice

Bart Vandenberghe et al. Eur Radiol. 2010 Nov.

Abstract

A review of modern imaging techniques commonly used in dental practice and their clinical applications is presented. The current dental examinations consist of intraoral imaging with digital indirect and direct receptors, while extraoral imaging is divided into traditional tomographic/panoramic imaging and the more recently introduced cone beam computed tomography. Applications, limitations and current trends of these dental "in-office" radiographic techniques are discussed.
