Dilaceration and Eruption Disturbances in Permanent Teeth: A Sequelae of Trauma to Their Predecessors-Diagnosis and Treatment Using Cone Beam CT.
Alterations in the morphology of permanent teeth following trauma to their predecessors is a challenging task for diagnosis and it may require advanced imaging techniques. Newer imaging modalities have replaced the conventional radiological procedures, as they allow 3D reconstruction images and views which are free of superimposition. Cone Beam CT (CBCT) offers a three-dimensional view, which the conventional two-dimensional dental radiography fails to provide. The current article highlights the advantages of CBCT which are seen in evaluation of the morphological variations and eruptive disturbances in the permanent teeth, as sequelae to trauma in their predecessors.
