Ultrasound Imaging in Dentistry: A Literature Overview

(1) Background: the frequency with which diagnostic tests are prescribed with exposure to ionizing radiation, a cause of biological damage, has been studied, and with much more attention, patients are subjected to these diagnostic tests for diagnosis and follow-up. This review aimed, given the recen...

This review aimed, given the recent developments of this technology, to evaluate the possible use of ultrasound in different branches of dentistry.
