Dental plaque as a biofilm and a microbial community – implications for health and disease

Cone beam computed tomography in implant dentistry: recommendations for clinical use

Reinhilde Jacobs, Benjamin Salmon, Marina Codari et al. · 15 May 2018

BACKGROUND: In implant dentistry, three-dimensional (3D) imaging can be realised by dental cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), offering volumetric data on jaw bones and teeth with relatively low radiation doses and costs. The latter may explain why the market has been steadily growing since the first dental CBCT system appeared two decades ago. More than…
