Abstract
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a new application of Computed Tomography (CT) that generates three-dimensional (3D) data at lower cost and less radiation than conventional CT found in the practice of medical radiology. Data from the craniofacial region are often collected at higher resolution in the axial plane than those from conventional CT systems. These systems do not require a large amount of space and can easily fit into most dental practices. Most of the attention regarding CBCT imaging has focused on applications for dental implant placement, orthodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery and temporomandibular joint imaging and not as much emphasis has been placed on the applications of CBCT in the forensic dentistry. This article reviews and examines the available evidence from the clinical and scientific literature pertaining to forensic dentistry primarily limited to two basic areas: pre-mortem forensic including age estimation and sex determination, and post-mortem forensic including facial reconstruction and frontal sinus examination for the forensic identification.
