Body
Objective: To present the diagnosis of impacted teeth with CBCT.
Methods: This case report consisted of two patients with impacted teeth. The first case was
a 9 year-old boy. Intraoral examination of the patient revealed a missing incisor tooth and a
panoramic radiograph was taken to evaluate the positions of the teeth. An impacted tooth was
observed on the upper left side of the maxilla but the accurate position of this impacted tooth
could not be identified and CBCT imaging was performed. The second patient was a ten yearold
boy. Following the detection of the absence of the tooth 22 by intraoral examination, a
panoramic radiograph was taken and the impaction of the tooth was confirmed. However accurate
position of this impacted tooth could not be identified and CBCT imaging was performed
Results: CBCT imaging of the first patient revealed impaction of the tooth 11. CBCT imaging
of the second patient revealed impaction of the tooth 22 and a vestibulo-palatal positioned
impacted surnemarary tooth near the floor of the nasal fossa that could not detect clearly
on panoramic radiograph. Due to the positions of impacted teeth of two patients, eruption of
these teeth with orthodonticmechanics did not considered and extraction was planned.
Conclusions: With the aid of the CBCT imaging, diagnosis and localisation of impacted teeth
can be precisely evaluated, since the image has no overlapping and is true to detail, and with
this detailed information more accurate diagnosis and treatment plan of these two patients
could be performed.
