This text functions as both a technical resource and a clinical atlas, detailing the shift from traditional 2D radiography to 3D imaging. It allows for the visualization of dental structures across sagittal, coronal, and axial planes, removing limitations caused by anatomical overlap. The book covers the principles of 3D radiology, selection criteria for imaging systems, and oral cavity anatomy, with a focus on practical applications in implantology, endodontics, and oral surgery using documented clinical cases.
