Abstract: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is an innovative medical imaging technique that provides the practitioner with three-dimensional views of the patient. It was first used to evaluate impacted teeth, apical lesions, and mandibular and maxillary diseases. In certain cases, CBCT greatly enhances the practitioner's ability to diagnose, evaluate, treat, and care for patients. Its application has been found to be beneficial in numerous facets of dentistry, including endodontics, implantology, oral and maxillofacial surgery, and orthodontics. Our purpose is to review position statements from the dental specialties and their indications on the use of CBCT imagery.
