“…Hence, cone beam CT was accepted rapidly by endodontics shortly after its introduction to the dental field. 25 CBCT in endodontics requires exceptionally images with high resolution and details to visualize the details of the root canal system and its surrounding periodontium (Figure 5). Since high resolution images come at the expense of increased radiation dose, only small field of view CBCT scans are suggested for the diagnosis and management of endodontic lesions.…”

In this period of advanced technology, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was embraced into the dental settings very rapidly and has gained popularity in the field of oral radiology due to its advantages over conventional two-dimensional (2D) radiography, such as its relatively compact size, low cost, low ionizing radiation exposure when compared to multi detector computed tomography (MDCT). This paper provides an overview of the basic principles of CBCT technology and reviews its current advances on the specific application to the oral and maxillofacial region.

The Alt-RAMEC protocol was introduced by Liou in the year 2005. It allows for sutural mobilisation by opening and closing the RME screw for 7-9 weeks. Maxillary protraction after the use of Alt-Ramec (alternate rapid maxillary expansion and contraction) protocol is an efficient method for early treatment of skeletal Class III malocclusion. This case report shows the results of using a hyrax bonded maxillary expander with the Alt-RAMEC protocol to treat a maxillary hypoplasia Class III malocclusion. A 12-year-old patient with skeletal class III malocclusion with anterior as well as the unilateral posterior crossbite was treated using this protocol. CBCT scans were taken before and after expansion. These CBCT scans were used for assessing and analysing the skeletal changes that have occurred after using the AltRamec protocol. The objective of this case report is to assess skeletal changes after using the Alt-RAMEC protocol.
