In the submitted paper the authors describe the method of computed tomography (CT)and multiplanar reconstruction (MPR)in impacted teeth.Basic CT scans provide accurate and detailed information on the morphology and position of teeth impacted in the jaw and their relationship to surrounding anatomical structures.MPR presents the images of transverse sections of the jaws and dental arches at selected planes without extra scans.MPR improves the three-dimensional localization of retained teeth.MPR is so far the only reliable method for visualization of resorptions in contact areas between ectopic erupting and impacted teeth and roots of neighbouring teeth.Data obtained by CT examination are important for planning of orthodontic and surgical treatment of impacted teeth.The objective of the presented paper is to demonstrate the diagnostic possibilities of CT and MPR focused on imaging of impacted teeth.The authors present examples of MPR images of different cases on which they demon- strate the possible contribution to clinical practice
