Personal computer-based three-dimensional computed tomographic images of the teeth for evaluating supernumerary or ectopically impacted teeth.

This study describes the use of personal computer (PC)-based three-dimensional computed tomographic (3D CT) images in the evaluation of supernumerary and ectopically impacted teeth. Three selected cases were presented as examples of the more complex cases in which 3D CT imaging added information not readily available from periapical, occlusal, or panoramic radiographs. Patients were CT scanned from the occlusal plane to the periapical region of the impacted teeth. Digital Image and Communications in Medicine CT data were transferred to a personal laptop computer using a network line. 3D volume rendering was performed using PC-based volumetric analysis software. 3D CT-reformatted imaging of the teeth is a useful way to investigate and localize supernumerary or impacted teeth. Newer software that enables this investigation using a PC provides a relatively inexpensive way to carry out such investigations, making it easier for dental practitioners to request such investigations and to view the results in real time in their own offices.[1]
