Fetal dental panorama on three-dimensional ultrasound imaging.

Abstract

Technological advances in the field of fetal ultrasound have allowed us to push the boundaries beyond what is visible. Today, with the improvements in image quality, we are able to study the dental organ into the jaws during the fetal growth. This ultrasonographic image, which we call Fetal Dental Panoramic, allows us to objectify the normal and pathological development of the dental organ. In fetal pathology, the images obtained may be an important element that contributes to the diagnosis of dysmorphologic syndromes.
