Invited Review PaperImagingCone-beam computerized tomography (CBCT) imaging of the oral and maxillofacial region: A systematic review of the literature
Section snippets
Materials and methods
The literature regarding CBCT imaging in the OMF region was systematically reviewed. A PubMed search (National Library of Medicine, NCBI, New Pubmed System; revised 1 December 2007) was conducted from 1 January 1988 to 1 December 2007. 11 central keywords (Table 1) related to CBCT were used in combination with a total of 50 additional keywords (Table 1) to limit the search to CBCT imaging of the OMF region with dedicated CBCT scanners. These key words were used as search terms in multiple
Results
177 papers were analyzed. 86 papers (49%) were related to clinical applications, 65 (37%) to technique, 16 (9%) to radiation dose and 26 (15%) were synopsis papers (Table 3).
Discussion
Since the introduction of dedicated dento-maxillofacial CBCT scanners in the late 1990s6, 111, there has been an explosion of interest in these devices in the field of OMF surgery, orthodontics and dentistry. In the last decade, the number of CBCT related papers published each year has increased (Fig. 1). This results in a vast amount of literature. A systematic review of the literature related to CBCT imaging of the OMF region was undertaken to evaluate the indications, benefits and drawbacks
