Dental Identification Using Dental Cone-Beam Computed Tomography
Author(s): Akiko Kumagai*,Akira Fujimura,Koji Dewa Akiko Kumagai*,Akira Fujimura,Koji Dewa
In recent years, understanding three-dimensional (3D) structures has become necessary for advanced dental treatments. Therefore, dental cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is considered to be a very effective method. In this study, we evaluated the possibility of using CBCT to identify individuals using dental records. We first conducted CBCT on a dry skull with remaining teeth, restorations and prostheses and confirmed that the highest tube voltage of 90 V and tube current of 2.5 mA optimally detected intraoral restorations and prostheses, maximally inhibiting metal artifact. Thereafter, we performed CBCT of the soft tissue attached to the head of cadavers used for anatomical practice by dental students of our university under the same conditions. Dental charts were produced based on those obtained by visual observa.. View More»
