In the dynamic world of dentistry, the advent of dental imaging has ushered in a new era of precision, allowing practitioners to delve deeper into the intricacies of oral health. This technological marvel encompasses a diverse array of imaging modalities, each offering unique insights into dental anatomy, pathology, and treatment possibilities. Digital X-rays, a fundamental component of modern dental imaging, provide a quick and efficient means of capturing detailed images with significantly reduced radiation exposure. This not only enhances diagnostic accuracy but also aligns with the growing emphasis on patient safety in healthcare practices. The transition from conventional radiography to digital X-rays exemplifies dentistry's commitment to embracing advancements that benefit both practitioners and patients. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) stands out as a game-changer in the field, offering three-dimensional images of the oral and maxillofacial structures. This technology is indispensable for complex procedures such as dental implant planning, orthognathic surgery, and the evaluation of temporomandibular joint disorders. The ability to visualize anatomical structures in three dimensions empowers dentists with a level of precision and insight that was previously unimaginable.
