Potential Benefits of Photon-Counting CT in Dental Imaging: A Narrative Review

Background/Objectives:

  • Photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) is a new technology improving dental diagnosis and treatment planning.
  • PCCT offers high resolution, improved soft-tissue contrast, and faster scanning times, essential for detailed dental diagnosis and treatment planning.
  • It uses semiconductor detectors to produce sharper images and potentially reduce patient radiation exposure.

Methods:

  • Reviewed literature on PCCT in dental imaging from 2010 to 2024 from PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases.
  • Focused on high resolution, patient safety, and diagnostic efficiency in dental structure assessment.
  • Included English-language articles, case studies, letters, observational studies, and randomized controlled trials.
  • Excluded duplicates and studies unrelated to PCCT’s application in dental imaging.

Results:

  • PCCT was found to reduce artifacts compared to conventional CBCT and traditional CT scans, particularly improving implant imaging.
  • It offers potential benefits such as improved visualization and reduced radiation exposure.

Conclusions:

  • PCCT represents a promising advancement in dental imaging, offering high-resolution visuals, enhanced contrast, and rapid scanning with reduced radiation exposure.
  • Limitations include the potential for overlooking other advanced imaging technologies, a narrow study timeframe, the lack of real-world clinical application data, and costs.
