Cone-beam computed tomography and three-dimensional orthodontics. Where we are and future perspectives

Abstract

Cone beam computerised tomography (CBCT) is becoming increasingly common in the orthodontic office and a wide range of software is now available. What is the state-of-the-art of CBCT prescription according to international guidelines? And what might we expect from CBCT in orthodontics in the future?
