Background: Dental CBCT images provide views of anatomy that most dentists have never before seen. Early detection and improved diagnostic accuracy are essential for improving patient care and treatment out comes, as well as reducing treatment time,complexity, complications, and costs. Objectives
1. To evaluate all types and prevalence of dentoalveolar findings on CBCT scans.
2. To evaluate all types and prevalence of maxillary sinus findings on CBCT scans.
3. To evaluate all types and prevalence of TMJ changes on CBCT scans
4. To evaluate all types and prevalence ofnasopharynx findings on CBCT scans.
5. To evaluate all types and prevalence of soft tissue calcifications on CBCT scans.
Materials and Methods
· Source from where the cases, patients, subjects or study material will be selected- CBCT scans would be obtained from Dr. D.Y. Patil dental college & hospital, Pune.
· Name and place where the study will be conducted- Dept. of Oral Medicine & Radiology, Dr. D.Y. Patil dental college & hospital, Pune.
Conclusion This study confirms the frequent presence of incidental findings in maxillofacial CBCT scans. This finding under scores the need for dental practitioners and oral and maxillofacial radiologists to review the entire volume of the CBCT study to document the presence of clinically significant lesions that may require intervention, monitoring, or a referral to other specialists.
