Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a groundbreaking dental imaging technique that produces three-dimensional, high-resolution images of the oral cavity. It has several benefits over conventional imaging techniques, including as better visualization of intricate anatomical structures, increased diagnostic precision, and reduced radiation exposures in comparison to traditional computed tomography (CT). Numerous dental specialties, including endodontics, orthodontics, prosthodontics, oral surgery, periodontology, and forensic odontology, heavily rely on CBCT. The diagnostic capabilities of CBCT are being improved by recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI), which makes it a useful tool for identifying dental diseases. Longer scan periods, more radiation exposure, and the requirement for specific training for effective interpretation are some of CBCT's drawbacks. The objective of this review is to examine the main clinical uses of CBCT in different dental specialties and assess its benefits over conventional imaging methods in terms of accuracy, precision, and patient outcomes. All things considered, even though CBCT has many advantages, clinical practice must carefully weigh its dangers and limits.
锥形束计算机断层扫描（CBCT）是一种开创性的牙科成像技术，可生成口腔的三维高分辨率图像。与传统成像技术相比，它具有多项优势，包括能更好地显示复杂的解剖结构、提高诊断精度以及与传统计算机断层扫描（CT）相比减少辐射暴露。众多牙科专业，包括牙髓病学、正畸学、修复学、口腔外科、牙周病学和法医牙科学，都严重依赖CBCT。人工智能（AI）的最新进展正在提高CBCT的诊断能力，这使其成为识别牙科疾病的有用工具。扫描时间长、辐射暴露多以及有效解读需要特定培训是CBCT的一些缺点。本综述的目的是研究CBCT在不同牙科专业中的主要临床用途，并评估其在准确性、精确性和患者预后方面相对于传统成像方法的优势。综合考虑，尽管CBCT有许多优点，但临床实践必须仔细权衡其风险和局限性。
