Main Article Content
Keywords
Dental imaging technology, Advancements, Panoramic radiography, Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), Artificial intelligence, Digitalization.
Abstract
Dental imaging technology has undergone significant advancements in recent years, revolutionizing the way dental professionals diagnose and treat various oral health conditions. This review article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in dental imaging technology, including both traditional and emerging modalities. The discussion will cover the principles, advantages, limitations, and potential applications of various imaging techniques such as panoramic radiography, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), intraoral radiography, digital radiography, and 3D imaging. Furthermore, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning algorithms in dental imaging will also be explored, highlighting their role in enhancing diagnostic accuracy and efficiency. Additionally, the review will address the importance of radiation dose reduction strategies in dental imaging and the growing trend towards digitalization and tele-dentistry in the field. Overall, this review aims to provide dental professionals and researchers with a comprehensive understanding of the current landscape of dental imaging technology and its implications for clinical practice.
