General Use of CBCT in Dentistry

CBCT (KIBT, DVT) has been increasingly used in dentistry practice. While it was initially introduced for implant planning, it is now in use in all fields of dentistry. With advanced technology, CBCT is now used more effectively and safely.However, technical and technological limitations including primarily the radiation dose used are more important for CBCT indication.

The purpose of this speech is to assess the clinical applications of CBCT in the light of current developments.

I graduated from İstanbul University Faculty of Dentistry in 1986. I completed my PhD in 1993 at the Department of Dental Diseases and Treatment, Oral Diagnosis and Radiology Section of the same Faculty. In 1996, I received my title of Associate Professor at the Oral Diagnosis and Radiology Department,and professor at the Oral, Dental and Maxillofacial Radiology Department. At present, I’m the Vice-Dean of Faculty of Dentistry at İstanbul Atlas University and lecturer at the Oral Diagnosis and Radiology Department.
