title: The application of two- and three-dimensional computed imaging in maxillofacial surgery: a review.
abstract: Rapid developments in the field of radiological imaging have resulted in the establishment of sophisticated radiological techniques for the imaging of the maxillofacial region. Many of these techniques are costly and therefore not suitable for routine usage. This manuscript reviews the application of two- and three dimensional imaging in the practice of maxillofacial surgery.
