Application Of Ultrasounds In Dentistry: A Review

Abstract

The utilisation of advanced diagnostic imaging modalities in oral and maxillofacial radiology includes modern computed
tomography, cone-beam computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, nuclear medicine, ultrasonography (USG),
xeroradiography, and arthrography, to name just a few. Since its beginnings, USG has been used in the field of medicine to identify
lesions for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. USG is a technique that captures photographs in real-time without the use of
ionising radiation. Soft-tissue lesions are simpler to diagnose with USG than hard-tissue lesions are.
