Main description:

This best-selling book has been updated to reflect recent advances in how cone beam computerized tomography is being used by dental practitioners in each of the various specialties. As before, the book introduces readers to all of the different ways of viewing CBCT data sets and guides clinicians in identifying familiar and unfamiliar anatomical landmarks in the three planes of section (axial, sagittal, and coronal). New to this edition are chapters on risk and liability, small volume anatomy, and endodontic applications of CBCT. In addition, the anatomy chapter has been updated with many new views and anatomical landmarks. Comprehensive case presentations demonstrate the diagnostic and treatment- planning capabilities of CBCT in its full range of applications (eg, airway studies, implant site assessment, odontogenic lesion visualization, 1:1 space analysis, etc) while at the same time highlighting situations in which traditional two-dimensional imaging will suffice.
