The process of deploying the two dimensional data in to the three dimensional format is three dimensional imaging. Now a days three dimensional imaging is developing as an emerging factor in the field of dentistry. Three dimensional imaging is useful in the field of orthodontics, to view the anatomy along with the morphology of the bone for desired tooth movement, it is useful in the field of prosthodontics to check or verify the bone morphology, exact height and width of the bone for the process placing implant, three dimensional imaging is quite useful in the field of endodontics along with oral surgery to view the anatomy of the root curvature, to confirm the presence of accessory canals to confirm the bony architectural defect in oral surgical procedures. So in present days three dimensional imaging plays an important role in diagnosis as well as treatment planning in the field of dentistry.
