Exploring the 3D volume CBCT face of ectopic teeth: case reports.
Abstract
Cone Beam Tomography assessments provide innovative perspectives on the evaluation of the entire acquired volume, thereby increasing the predictability
of the exact location of ectopic teeth, through understanding of tomographic planes in three dimensions. The authors report cases of ectopic supernumerary
teeth found incidentally in CT scans for planning dental implants. They stress the importance of computed tomography as a diagnostic method for more accurate
images in dentistry, allowing to achieve a more full treatment plan for patients.
