title: Computed Tomography of dental arches with dedicated software: current state of applications.
abstract: Since the introduction of the "Dentascan" reconstruction program, the use of CT in the field of odontostomatology has attracted growing interest from both radiologists and dentists. Over the years, the potential applications of Dentascan have extended from the management of implantology-related issues to the study of all jaw bone diseases relevant to dentists. This paper describes the technical aspects and current diagnostic capabilities of computed tomography of the dental arches with dedicated software, by presenting a wide selection of case studies.
