3D Cone Beam Scan Imaging
3-Dimensional Imaging and Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a 3-Dimensional imaging modality providing the best possible maxillofacial imaging techniques available today.
CBCT allows us to obtain images of the skull and jawbones in a relatively short period of time (approximately 10-15 seconds). This information can then be used to evaluate you in a way that was previously only possible with expensive medical CT scans.
Perhaps the most compelling example is implantology. In order to perform a successful implant, the dental professional must While we do not obtain a CBCT on every patient, we do evaluate each patient on an individual basis to determine the benefits that may be obtained with a CBCT.
What Is CBCT Used For?
- Dental Implant Planning
- Impacted Teeth
- Orthognathic (Corrective Jaw) Surgery
- TMJ Analysis
- Airway Studies
- Orthodontics
- Maxillofacial Pathology
What Are the Advantages of CBCT Over Other Imaging Modalities?
- Lower radiation dose than traditional CT
- Shorter scan times
- In office availability versus visiting an imaging facility
- Reduced cost
- Ability to identify vital structures such as nerves and blood vessels
- High resolution
- Extremely accurate images
- Ability to make surgical guides directly from CT images
