Abstract
According to the various studies, the prevalence of malocclusions accompanied by functional and morphological disorders of the dental system ranges from 24.5% to 37.3%. In addition to the functional issues, changes in facial aesthetics negatively affect the psychological state of patients and their social adaptation. Thorough diagnosis is necessary for effective treatment planning of patients with gnathic forms of malocclusion. One of the key diagnostic methods is cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), which allows a detailed assessment of the structure of the facial skull. Without an adequate assessment of the anatomical features of the facial skeleton, including the position and size of the jaws, it is impossible to plan the treatment for such patients. CBCT provides an accurate three-dimensional image, which is especially important for choosing optimal treatment tactics and achieving both functional and aesthetic results.
Materials and Methods. A total of 120 patients with dental occlusion disorders were examined by using cone-beam computed tomography.
Results and Discussion. Cone-beam computed tomography is the most effective technology for performing cephalometric analysis of the skull in patients with various dental anomalies.
