Abstract
With the development of dental cone beam computed tomography(CBCT), we can easily grasp the three dimensional relationships between dental-related lesions and anatomical landmarks in the oral cavity. Together with the entrances of dental CBCT with low price, dental cone beam CT should become more widespread in the dental field. However, its clinical applications for them have remained obscure, and many dentists at present might be confused concerning the appropriate uses of dental CBCT. In the present manuscript, clinical applications in dental cone beam CT for dental-related lesions were considered. In concrete, utilities and problems of dental CBCT were elucidated through some clinical case studies such as endodontic therapy, periatric dentistry, dental implantology, and dental surgery-related lesions.
