Introduction: Alveolar bone coverage can be diagnosed through cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and this information can prevent orthodontic tooth movement beyond the biological limit.
Objective: This study evaluated the impact of the bone coverage (BC) diagnosis by CBCT in the orthodontists' planning.
Methods: One hundred fifty-nine Brazilian orthodontists suggested treatment plans for six patients at two different times, using two sequential questionnaires.

This study reviews the two most important and frequently used systems of tomography used in dentistry today. These are the dental panoramic radiograph (DPR) and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). The importance of the DPR has been accentuated by the recent COVID-19 pandemic, as it does not produce an aerosol.

Accurate diagnosis of periodontal and peri-implant diseases relies significantly on radiographic examination, especially for assessing alveolar bone levels, bone defect morphology, and bone quality. This narrative review aimed to comprehensively outline the current state-of-the-art in radiographic diagnosis of alveolar bone diseases, covering both two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) modalities. Additionally, this review explores recent technological advances in periodontal imaging diagnosis, focusing on their potential integration into clinical practice.

Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) provides a 3-dimensional (3D) view of the patient and has a high frequency of incidental findings (IFs) that do not relate to the area of interest. Many of these IFs are not always visible on 2-dimensional (2D) intraoral or panoramic radiographs. Thus, the aim of the present study was to assess the IFs that did or did not appear on 3D vs 2D images.
