Online published on 19 August, 2014. Abstract With the emerging imaging modalities, dental radiology has played revolutionary role in determining diagnosis, treatment plan and prognostic value. A new array of imaging modalities, such as digital imaging, CT, MRI, positron emission tomography, and conebeam CT have been developed. As change has to begun, interest in CBCT from all fields of dentistry is unprecedented because it has created a revolution in maxillofacial imaging, facilitating the transition of dental diagnosis from 2D to 3D images and expanding the role of imaging from diagnosis to image guidance of operative and surgical procedures by way of third-party applications software. The purpose of this article is to develop familiarity with the concept of multiplanar imaging that is offered by this new and exciting technology “CBCT” which focuses the emerging role of cone beam imaging in dentistry.
