Abstract
This review highlights the recent advances in X‐ray microcomputed tomography (Micro‐CT) applied in dental research. It summarizes Micro‐CT applications in measurement of enamel thickness, root canal morphology, evaluation of root canal preparation, craniofacial skeletal structure, micro finite element modeling, dental tissue engineering, mineral density of dental hard tissues and about dental implants. Details of studies in each of these areas are highlighted along with the advantages of Micro‐CT, and finally a summary of the future applications of Micro‐CT in dental research is given.
