Investigating Recent Advancment In CBCT And USG Technology That Enhance Imaging Quality And Diagnostic Capabilities In Tmjs.

Abstract

Over the past three decades, dentistry has made great advancements in all of its areas. These developments have made the requirement for more accurate diagnostic instruments, particularly imaging techniques, imperative.

Modern dentistry has included sophisticated imaging techniques such as computed tomography, cone beam computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasound in addition to the basic intra-oral periapical X-rays. In addition to making the procedure quicker and simpler, the switch from analogue to digital radiography has also made it easier to save, manipulate, and retrieve images (adjusting brightness and contrast, cropping them, etc.). The intricate cranio-facial structures are now easier to examine, and deep seated lesions may now be accurately and early diagnosed thanks to three-dimensional imaging. This paper reviews recent developments in USG and CBCT and their applications.
