This device gives him a detailed view of virtually every structure inside your mouth, which equates to high-quality treatment in every way.
How a CB/CT Cone Beam Scanner Works
CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) is an advanced imaging technique that provides 3D images of the teeth, soft tissues, nerve pathways, and bone structure. It is commonly used in dentistry to obtain highly detailed views of the oral and maxillofacial regions.
Unlike traditional 2D X-rays, CBCT uses a cone-shaped X-ray beam that rotates around the patient to capture multiple images from different angles. These images are then compiled into a 3D representation for precise diagnostics.
Common Uses of CBCT in Dentistry
CBCT has quite a few different uses in dentistry, and Dr. Al is excited to have access to this innovative technology here in our office. A few ways in which he can utilize this exciting tech include:
Dental Implants
CBCT is essential for implant placement as it helps to assess bone quality and quantity as well as the position of nerves and sinuses.
Orthodontics
CBCT assists in evaluating tooth eruption, jaw relationships, and potential issues with alignment and bite.
Endodontics (Root Canals)
CBCT provides a detailed view of root canal anatomy and any surrounding structures that might impact the procedure.
Periodontic
It aids in assessing the bone structure around the teeth, detecting periodontal disease, and evaluating tooth mobility.
