Multislice Spiral CT (Computed tomography) has become the modality of choice for evaluation of maxillofacial and mandibular pathologies in the recent years. The development of dental CT reformatting programs has completely revolutionized and changed the fashion to radiographically evaluate the jaw today. The study is based on the prospective evaluation of 60 patients with symptomatology related to mandible, using MDCT (Multidetector Computed Tomography) with its special Denta scan software and 3-D display techniques. The study aims at studying the imaging spectrum of various mandibular pathologies by MDCT to formulate a diagnosis and to assess the extent and involvement of adjacent structures thereby to substantiate the utility of MDCT in the management of these pathologies.
