Cone Beam CT can reveal hidden anatomy and disclose important anatomic variations that can’t be visualized on traditional panoramic and cephalometric projections. Failure to recognize key these anatomic features may lead to sub-optimum diagnosis, treatment planning and treatment outcomes. Selected anatomic boundaries, alveolar ridge and jaw dimensions, TMJs and airway, will be discussed.
Learning Objectives:
