Abstract: With the development of precision medicine, cone-beam CT (CBCT) has been widely used in dental clinic and scientific research due to its quantitative measurement function. In the clinical application of alveolar surgery imaging, precise positioning is needed in cases, in order to formulate more precise treatment plan. CBCT provides the possibility of accurate diagnosis and treatment for alveolar surgery diseases with its powerful line measurement function. In this paper, the application and accuracy of quantitative measurement of CBCT in alveolar surgery will be reviewed.

Key words: alveolar surgery, cone-beam CT, precision medicine
