Cutting-Edge Imaging in Orthodontics: From CBCT to AI Integration

Cutting-Edge Imaging in Orthodontics: From CBCT to AI Integration explores the rapid advancements in imaging technologies transforming orthodontic care. The book begins with an overview of conventional radiographic techniques and progresses to three-dimensional modalities such as Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), digital intraoral scanning, and 3D facial imaging.It highlights the clinical applications of CBCT in airway assessment, TMJ evaluation, impacted tooth localization, and craniofacial growth analysis. The text also examines the revolutionary role of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in orthodontics, including automated cephalometric analysis, treatment simulations, and personalized aligner design.Featuring real-world clinical cases, high-quality images, and practical workflows, this book provides a comprehensive guide for orthodontists, postgraduate students, and researchers. It emphasizes ethical considerations, radiation safety, and data privacy, offering a roadmap to integrating advanced imaging and AI for precise diagnosis and enhanced treatment outcomes.
