Abstract

Oral and maxillofacial radiology plays a pivotal role in the accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of dental conditions. This field utilizes advanced imaging techniques to provide critical insights into both hard and soft tissues of the oral cavity, jaws, and surrounding structures. The integration of radiographic technologies such as panoramic radiography, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has revolutionized the way dental professionals identify pathologies, assess treatment planning, and guide surgical interventions. This article delves into the importance of oral and maxillofacial radiology, exploring the various imaging modalities used in diagnosing dental anomalies, trauma, infections, tumors, and developmental disorders. The paper highlights the contributions of radiology in enhancing treatment outcomes and discusses emerging trends in digital radiography, artificial intelligence, and 3D imaging. The interdisciplinary approach to diagnostic imaging and its increasing role in preventive care are also examined.
