Özet

Orthodontic records are one of the main milestones in orthodontic therapy. Records are essential not only for diagnosis and treatmentplanning but also for follow-up of the case, communicating with colleagues, and evaluating the treatment outcomes. Recently, two-di-mensional (2D) imaging technology, such as cephalometric and panoramic radiographs and photographs, and plaster models were rou-tinely used. However, after the introduction of three-dimensional (3D) technologies (laser scanner, stereophotogrammetry, and comput-ed tomography) into dentistry, 3D imaging systems are more and more commonly preferred than 2D, especially in cases with craniofacialdeformities. In fact, 3D imaging provided more detailed and realistic diagnostic information about the craniofacial hard as well as softtissue and allowed to perform easier, faster, and more reliable 3D analyses. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the 3Dimaging techniques, including their advantages and disadvantages, and to outline the indications for 3D imaging.
