Preeti Bhardwaj, Lakshmayya Naidu, Anupam Agarwal

CBVT is being used in Orthodontics due its ability to obtain 3 - dimensional representation of craniofacial structures. It represents a highly precis e image of the anatomic structures and clearly depicts the location of various anatomic structures. The Cone beam volumetric tomography(CBVT) can be considered as an Essential Diagnostic Aid in patients having skeletal asymmetry and severe skeletal malocc lusions undergoing Orthognathic surgeries .
