According to the sensitivity, specificity, prognostic positive and prognostic negative results, the method of CTBT is similar to the CT method in cases of diagnosis of mandibular bone injuries, but is characterized by lower X-ray load, higher availability and lower cost of the procedure. In cases of high suspicion of the risk of the cranial structures lesions during mandible fracture, the argument of the tomographic examination is recommended to be carried out according to the algorithm proposed by Czerwinsi and colleagues (2008). The effectiveness of using the diagnostic method for visualizing fractures of the mandible in the form of cone-beam computed tomography from the positions of the hierarchical approach proposed by Fryback-Thorbury, is evident at all six levels, which allows us to recommend this method for use in forensic dentistry and during the planning and control of dental treatment results.
