APPLICATION OF MICRO-CT IN VARIOUS DISCIPLINE OF CLINICAL AND RESEARCH DENTISTRY
Micro-CT (µCT) is gold standard technique and as an adjunct tool to the dental research and clinical dentistry. The main use of µCT has been the noninvasive exploration of trabecular bone for multiple analyses like investigation of bone growth and repair. The electronic database searched, that followed a combination of keywords and an overview until date. Due to advancement in the µCT system, the mineral concentration of the bone and teeth can be measured with accuracy greater than one percent; with the resolution of 5 and 30µm. 3D µCT is an investigative and diagnostic apparatus, for better understanding of the tooth structure, various dental materials and instrumentation techniques. µCT can help in assessing dentoalveolar structures qualitatively for efficient and precise treatment outcomes and developing a better understanding. µCT is being used for immensely detailed studies in every field of dentistry. It can be a great asset for 3D geomorphometric analysis of dentoalveolar structures and there anomalies.
