COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY IN DIAGNOSTICS AND TREATMENT PLANNING OF NONCARIOUS LESIONS

Abstract

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was applied in diagnostics and planning of treatment in 73 patients with noncarious lesions. For the first time, the density of hard tissues was estimated by the Hounsfield scale, which allowed accurate identification of areas of hypermineralization and demineralization. Presented data were used for determination of invasion areas at preparation for the operation. 3-D model and estimate indicators of the lesion area size helped to specify the type, form and rate of the noncarious lesion.
