Utilization of Cone Beam Computed Tomography in Diagnosis and Treatment of Traumatic Injuries

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
3D Imaging in Endodontics

Abstract

Traumatic dental injuries can often result in immediate complications in the form of tooth fracture and mobility, as well as later complications in the form of pulp necrosis and root resorption. Proper diagnosis and management of traumatic injuries is key for the long-term survivability of the tooth. It also provides the patients with the expected outcome and possible needs for intervention in the future. In this chapter, we go through the different types of traumatic injuries that can be encountered in the dental practice, the best management approaches, and how to utilize CBCT to better improve the diagnosis and treatment planning.
