Abstract
The use of X-ray radiation is the main additional method for complete visualization of hard and soft tissues in dentistry and maxillofacial surgery. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is of leading importance among other methods. Three-dimensional reformation of CBCT data into a multiplanar or three-dimensional image of anatomical structures allows for a qualitative assessment of the area of interest and to choose the right treatment tactics if necessary. Nevertheless, there are a number of factors or artifacts that lead to distortion, disrupt the image or lead to loss of information during CBCT, in addition, the formation of overdiagnosis is not excluded. Currently, an active search is underway for ways to improve the quality of CBCT images and eliminate artifacts to improve the quality of diagnostics. This review is devoted to the description of the main causes of artifacts and modern methods of their elimination.
