However, one of the true indications for the use of CBCT is the diagnosis and management of dentoalveolar trauma, especially root fractures. While there is controversy on the ability of CBCT to clearly identify vertical fractures, few studies address the use of CBCT focusing on the nature of horizontal tooth trauma, and in particular its outcome.
