Introduction

Dentomaxillofacial imaging is an essential component of dental and maxillofacial practice, providing crucial information for diagnosis and treatment planning. The introduction of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) systems has significantly advanced the field, revolutionizing imaging in the oral and maxillofacial areas. CBCT has become the gold standard for imaging of the oral and maxillofacial region due to its numerous advantages, including reduction in exposure time, radiation dose, and cost compared to other imaging modalities. ¹

This technology allows for three-dimensional (3D) imaging, providing detailed anatomical information and improving visualization of structures such as the lower dental canal, mental foramen, and maxillary sinus, which is crucial for endodontic and surgical procedures. ²⁾ The importance of dentomaxillofacial imaging in pediatric dentistry has been emphasized, with specific recommendations for its applications in the pediatric field. This highlights the need for indication-oriented and patient-specific imaging approaches. ³⁾ Recently, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in 3D imaging has opened new opportunities for dental practitioners, offering a comprehensive understanding of the current trend of AI developments in dentomaxillofacial imaging. ⁴⁾ The reliability and validity of dentomaxillofacial imaging methods have been extensively studied. The need to ensure precise and accurate measurements for the evaluation of implant sites and jaw pathologies has been emphasized. ⁵⁾ Furthermore, efforts have been made to evaluate the effect of exposure parameters on the analysis of bone structure in dental CBCT, further improving the accuracy of imaging techniques. ⁶

The introduction of CBCT has not only transformed dentomaxillofacial radiology, but has also impacted other medical fields, such as otorhinolaryngology, where it is used to evaluate the 3D morphology of the maxillofacial skeleton and solve complex diagnostic and treatment planning problems. ⁷⁾ The emerging role of nuclear medicine in oral and maxillofacial surgery has also been highlighted, emphasizing its important role in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases in the oral and maxillofacial region. ⁸⁾ In this way, dentomaxillofacial imaging, the integration of advanced imaging techniques, AI, and nuclear medicine have expanded the capabilities of dentomaxillofacial imaging, providing valuable tools to clinicians for accurate diagnosis, treatment planning, and improvement in patient care.
