Cone-beam volumetric imaging was developed at the U. of Cologne in Germany to allow the use of legally permitted levels of radiation for wider range of dental diagnostic applications than previously available. In initial trial phrase of this three-dimensional diagnostic tool, the authors of this medical atlas (both of the U. of Cologne) were surprised at the number of asymptotic pathological entities discovered by chance. They have therefore prepared the atlas to illustrate these findings for use in day-to- day assessments. In addition to presenting diagnostic images, the atlas discusses the use of three-dimensional imaging in oral surgery, othodontic, and implantological therapy. The DVD contains an original data set and videos of assessments in different dental disciplines in order to demonstrate the diagnostic uses of the three-dimensional orthopantographs produced by this technique.
