ROQUE-TORRES, Gina D et al. Cone beam computed tomography use in orthodontics, functional facial orthopedics. Rev. Estomatol. Herediana [online]. 2015, vol.25, n.1, pp.61-78. ISSN 1019-4355.

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a rapidly evolving technology that provides high spatial resolution of the craniofacial complex in three dimensions (3D). During the last decade, the number of publications related to CBCT in the literature has increased significantly, but the fundamental question is whether this technology leads to better results. CBCT and the application in orthodontics is very important as this new technology evolves ever faster and new images are needed to answer some cases, for example cases of recurrence. The tomographic image will allow us to give a different view compared to conventional images, and this view goes hand in hand with the movements for correcting malocclusion or facial disproportion
