Injury to the primary dentition is one of the common problems of childhood. Disturbances during crown development of the permanent teeth result in morphologic alterations. This case report highlights the role of 3-D imaging when conventional dental radiographs are not enough to answer our clinical questions regarding future eruptive disturbances. 3-D imaging can many times give us a definitive diagnosis and improve the treatment planning after early injuries in the deciduous dentition. The current status of multislice computed tomography (CT) and cone beam CT (CBCT) as diagnostic tools in pediatric dental population is also discussed briefly.
乳牙损伤是儿童常见问题之一。恒牙牙冠发育过程中的干扰会导致形态改变。本病例报告强调了在常规牙科射线照相不足以回答我们关于未来萌出干扰的临床问题时，三维成像的作用。三维成像可以多次为我们提供明确的诊断，并在乳牙早期损伤后改善治疗计划。还简要讨论了多层计算机断层扫描（CT）和锥形束 CT（CBCT）作为儿科牙科人群诊断工具的现状。
