Anatomy of the maxillofacial region in the three planes of section
Abstract
Apart from a few exceptions, dental practitioners are not familiar with sectional images (as those provided by cone beam computed tomography [CBCT]). In addition, the maxillofacial region is a complex area from an anatomic point of view including structures of peculiar shape; this may add to that complexity of their appearance in CBCT. As a result, a thorough knowledge of the tomographic anatomy of the maxillofacial region was necessary. This chapter reviews pertinent anatomical structures of the maxillofacial region in the axial, coronal, sagittal planes, as well as custom planes. Related pathology is also shown and discussed.
Keywords: Cone beam computed tomography; Maxillofacial anatomy; Maxillofacial region; Multiplanar imaging.
