3D Radiology in Dentistry: A Practical Reference for CBCT Integration in Clinical Practice

Why this book matters

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) has become a cornerstone of modern dental diagnostics, particularly in implant planning, endodontics and surgical procedures. However, the increasing availability of three-dimensional imaging has also created a parallel need for structured clinical guidance in interpretation, case planning and follow-up.

Book positioning

3D Radiology in Dentistry is presented as a professional reference designed to support clinicians who want to connect knowledge, technique and practical application.

Book overview

The CBCT offers many advantages: low radiation dose to patients, high definition with very small voxels, the possibility to see the tooth and the surrounding structures in three different planes. This atlas describes the use of CBCT in both clinical and surgical dentistry, the diagnostic phase but also the operational use to program the individual case, and control the future outcome.

Beyond its descriptive content, the value of the book lies in how it can support clinical reasoning, diagnostic workflows and treatment planning in daily practice.

Clinical relevance

For clinicians, the key issue is not simply accessing information, but knowing how to apply it. A structured reference can help organize decision-making, improve case assessment and support more predictable outcomes.

Editorial perspective and key takeaways

From an editorial standpoint, the strength of this volume lies in its practical orientation. It does not treat CBCT as a technology in isolation, but as a clinical tool that must be interpreted within diagnosis, planning and follow-up.

• Focuses on CBCT as a clinical decision-making tool
• Connects diagnosis, pre-operative planning and follow-up
• Supports clinicians working with three-dimensional imaging in complex cases

Who should read it

• Implantologists and oral surgeons integrating CBCT into surgical planning
• Endodontists evaluating complex anatomy and periapical pathology
• General dentists using three-dimensional imaging in diagnosis and referral decisions
• Postgraduate students and clinicians developing radiological interpretation skills
