Abstract
|
|
|
|
The introduction of cone-beam computed tomography(CBCT) and computer software in dentistry has allowed orthodontists and maxillofacial surgeons to provide more accurate diagnosis and treatment. In this article, a facial asymmetry patient who had orthodontic treatment combined with orthognathic surgery using CBCT imaging is introduced and the way how CBCT imaging could be applied in clinical orthodontics and orthognathic surgery is explained. Also, evaluation of treatment outcomes using CBCT is suggested. More accurate, predictable and efficient surgical orthodontic planning and treatment are expected in the near future through cutting edge medical imaging including CBCT and CAD/CAM technologies.
