Abstract

Knowledge of dental, maxillary, and mandibular anatomy and the use of correct nomenclature is critical in the evaluation of a mandibulofacial and/or maxillofacial imaging data set. The use of the correct diagnostic imaging tool tailored to the patient's needs is of equal importance. This article highlights imaging anatomy and cross-sectional imaging modalities mainly focusing on cone beam computed tomography of the mandibulofacial and maxillofacial region.
