Unexpected fi ndings on cone beam computed tomography in ortodontics

Abstract

The aim of the study is to study the possibilities of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in a cross-sectional study to assess the frequency of "unexpected finds" and their nature.Unexpected findings occur in 81.7% of cases during cone-beam computer diagnostics. Most often, random findings are localized directly in the oral cavity (61.5% of all detected pathologies) and the respiratory tract (28.8%), while they are clinically and prognostically significant.
