Written for the clinician, Cone Beam ComputedTomography helps the reader understand how CBCT machinesoperate, perform advanced diagnosis using CT data, have a workingknowledge of CBCT-related treatment planning for specific clinicaltasks, and integrate these new technologies in dailypractice.This comprehensive text lays the foundation of CBCT technologies,explains how to interpret the data, recognize main pathologies, andutilize CBCT for diagnosis, treatment planning, and execution. Dr.Sarment first addresses technology and principles, radiobiologicrisks, and CBCT for head and neck anatomy. The bulk of the textdiscusses diagnosis of pathologies and uses of CBCT technology inmaxillofacial surgical planning, orthodontic and orthognathicplanning, implant surgical site preparation, CAD/CAM surgicalguidance, surgical navigation, endodontics airway measurements, andperiodontal disease.
