The article presents a detailed protocol of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), which includes not only the classic analysis of dentoalveolar and skeletal disorders, but diagnosis of cranial patterns (craniocervical cephalometric analysis by M. Rocabado, cephalometric diagnosis by Sassouni PLUS), analysis of transverse jaw sizes (Penn analysis) and measuring the volume of the airway for screening of obstructive sleep apnea. The literature review was conducted using the PubMed in the Scopus and Medline electronic databases through April 2020. Combining several methods of interpretation of CBCT in a single protocol will allow doctors to obtain a more complete amount of information to make a complete plan of comprehensive treatment.
