Dental Radiography and Imaging
Dental Radiography and Imaging is a research topic within Oral Surgery. Science Explorer counts 45k research works in it since 1950. 16.9% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on the application of Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) in dentistry, particularly in dental imaging, radiation dosimetry, maxillofacial radiology, dental implantology, and the diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease. It also explores the use of artificial intelligence for dental image diagnostics, anatomical landmark detection, and the impact of CBCT on third molar surgery and osteoporosis assessment.
