Nowadays and the future of the 3d digital technologies in modern orthodontics.

Objective: Aim: To investigate the usage trends of different 3D digital technologies in modern orthodontics during the previous eight years to identify their future prospects.

Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: A systematic literature search on PubMed revealed 258,059 publications concerning digital technologies in modern orthodontics. Amongst 125 eligible articles, we chose 37 high quality articles.

[ASSESSMENT OF THE FEASIBILITY OF USING CONE-BEAM COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY IN CHILDREN FOR DIAGNOSTICS, 3D CEPHALOMETRY AND PLANNING ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT (REVIEW)].

Objective diagnostics and orthodontic treatment planning are of paramount importance for both pediatric and adult patients. Traditionally, two-dimensional (2D) X-ray images such as panoramic, lateral and front cephalograms are widely used by orthodontists for diagnostics. However, alongside with 2D images causing a lot of questions, it is usually required to obtain several 2D X-ray images in different views at the same time, which by itself is increasing the radiation dosage and the stochastic effect.
