In the dental field, diagnosis and treatment planning is given the utmost importance and for that reason, 3D imaging with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was introduced. CBCT enables the three dimensional evaluation of the structures. Therefore, it allows to identify the exact location and extent of dental lesions in a specific anatomic position. The wide ranging applications of CBCT enable it to be utilized in the fields endodontics, orthodontics, periodontics, oral surgery, implantology and other fields. The objective of this review is to provide up-to-date information to dentists regarding the applications of CBCT for different dental specialty to enable an accurate diagnosis and successful treatment.
