3D Imaging (CBCT)

3D imaging, known as CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography), represents a revolutionary step in dental diagnostics and treatment planning. This advanced technology provides a three-dimensional view of the teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures, offering detailed information not available with conventional X-rays.

What is CBCT?

CBCT is a type of X-ray imaging that uses cone-shaped beams to create three-dimensional images of the teeth, bones, soft tissues, and nerve pathways in a single scan. This type of imaging allows dentists to see all aspects of oral anatomy from different angles.

Why is it important?

Detailed Diagnostics: CBCT provides a high level of detail that allows for precise diagnosis of complex dental conditions such as impacted teeth, tumors, and fractures.
Implant Planning: It is used for precise planning of dental implant placement, enabling dentists to avoid critical structures such as nerves and sinuses.
Orthodontic Assessment: It helps orthodontists better understand the position of teeth and jaw structure, which is crucial for treatment planning.
TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) Assessment: CBCT provides detailed information about the TMJ, allowing for the diagnosis of dysfunction and treatment planning.

How is it performed?

The patient stands or sits while the CBCT device rotates around their head. The scan is quick, usually taking between 20 and 40 seconds, during which data is collected and then used to generate a 3D image.

Safety

CBCT uses relatively low doses of radiation compared to traditional CT scanners, making it safe for patients. However, it is important that the scan is performed only when clinically justified.

When is it needed?

For planning and placing dental implants
When evaluating complex endodontic cases
For diagnosing and treating temporomandibular disorders
In cases of facial trauma and fractures
For evaluating abnormalities such as cysts and tumors

CBCT represents a significant advancement in dentistry, allowing for more accurate diagnosis and more effective treatment planning. If you have questions or want to learn more about this technology, feel free to contact us. Your smile is our priority!
