Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)
Dental cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a new technology which produces 3D dental imaging using a cone-shaped source of ionizing radiation that is directed through the examined area. CBCT is used when regular dental or facial radiographs (x-rays) are not sufficient.
CBCT scans produce three dimensional (3-D) images of your teeth, soft tissues, nerve pathways and bone in a single scan. They enable physicians to see the exact shape of the bone, making it easier to assess the patient's potential response to dental implants or other specialty procedures.
