CBCT Applications

CBCT imaging allows clinicians to accurately visualize dentoalveolar anatomy three-dimensionally by providing image slices in axial, coronal, and sagittal planes, which is information that cannot be gained from two-dimensional imaging (i.e. standard dental x-rays).  This information can be used in all aspects of dentistry, including the following examples: 

Evaluation of anatomical structures

• Anomalies
• Pathological lesions

Orthodontics

• Evaluation of impacted teeth 
• Presurgical planning for orthognathic surgery cases

Dental implantology

• Providing accurate measurements for diagnostics treatment
• Planning for implant placement

Endodontics

• Diagnosis of periapical pathology 
• Assessment of tooth/root morphology and anomalies 
• Diagnosis and management of dentoalveolar trauma
• Localization and differentiation of root resorption 
• Pre-surgical assessment and planning
