Abstract
Ultrasound is an oscillating sound pressure wave with a frequency greater than the upper limit of the human hearing range. Ultrasound devices operate with frequencies from 20 kHz up to several gigahertz. Ultrasound has found major applications in the heart, abdomen and pelvis, as well as in the head & neck because of its unique combination of safety and tomographic imaging. Ultrasound is now regarded as the investigation of choice for differentiating between solid and cystic lesions, detection of salivary gland and duct calculi.Its application in dentistry has been used to investigate salivary glands, cysts and tumors in the oral region and in diagnosis of temporomandibular joint disorders, midfacial fractures, fractures of mandibular condyle and ramus, cervical lymphadenopathy and swelling in oro-facial region. Ultrasound guided core needle biopsies recommended as a safe and reliable technique in the diagnosis of cervico-facial masses with a high diagnostic yield. This review focusses on ultrasound and it’s major uses in dentistry.
