Accuracy and reliability of tooth and root lengths measured on cone-beam computed tomographs
Introduction In this study, we evaluated the accuracy and reliability of tooth-length and root-length measurements derived from cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) volumetric data. Methods CBCT scans were made of 7…
Accuracy and reliability of cone-beam computed tomography for measuring alveolar bone height and detecting bony dehiscences and fenestrations
Introduction The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in the diagnosis of naturally occurring fenestrations and bony dehiscences. In addition,…
Soft-tissue changes after maxillomandibular advancement surgery assessed with cone-beam computed tomography
Introduction The purpose of this study was to quantify anteroposterior and transverse facial soft-tissue changes with respect to underlying skeletal movements after maxillomandibular advancements by using cone-beam computed tomography. Methods…
Accuracy of mesiodistal root angulation projected by cone-beam computed tomographic panoramic-like images
Introduction In this study, we tested the accuracy of the cone-beam computed tomography panoramic (pan)-like image in the projection of mesiodistal tooth angulations. Methods A plastic typodont with 28 teeth…
Oropharyngeal airway changes after rapid palatal expansion evaluated with cone-beam computed tomography
Introduction The aims of this retrospective study were to use cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) to assess changes in the volume of the oropharynx in growing patients with maxillary constriction treated…
Effects of bonded rapid palatal expansion on the transverse dimensions of the maxilla: A cone-beam computed tomography study
Introduction The purpose of this study was to examine the maxillary response on the transverse dimensions to rapid palatal expansion (RPE) by using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods Twenty-four children…
Evaluating the mandible with cone-beam computed tomography
Introduction The purpose of this research was to examine methods for assessing the shape and growth of the mandible 3 dimensionally. Furthermore, 1 method was defined and applied. Methods Thirty…
Editor’s Comment and Q&A
Introduction The aim of this study was to assess the use of 3-dimensional facial averages for determining morphologic differences from various population groups. Methods We recruited 473 subjects from 5…
