AMARAL, Lysandro Fabris Almeida do; SILVA, Amanda de Carvalho e MARIANO, Ronaldo Célio. Exploring the 3D volume CBCT face of ectopic teeth. Case reports. Rev. Bras. Odontol. [online]. 2014, vol.71, n.2, pp. 148-151. ISSN 1984-3747.
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.
