Cone beam computed tomography is an innovative medical imaging technique that provides endodontists with three-dimensional views of the patient's teeth and surrounding structures.... During a CBCT scan, the machine rotates around the patient, capturing images using a cone-shaped X-ray beam. These images are then used to construct a 3-D [three-dimensional] representation of the patient's teeth, oral and maxillofacial region(mouth, jaw, and neck), and ears, nose, and throat. 6, record 1, English, - cone%20beam%20computed%20tomography

An anaplastologist... is an individual who has the knowledge and skill set to provide the service of customizing a facial(craniofacial prosthesis) or somato prosthesis.

In such a setting, there are times the anaplastologist collaborates with prosthodontists and ocularists. 2, record 5, English, - anaplastologist
