Seeing the same dimensions as we operate

We live and treat patients in a three-dimensional world, so there’s always a bit of problem when using two-dimensional imaging for diagnostics and treatment planning. Sure, 2D intraoral and panoramic radiographs provide a wealth of diagnostic detail and clinical information, but there’s only so much that can be derived from a 2D capture of a 3D structure.

This is where Cone Beam Computed Tomography-better known as CBCT or Cone Beam imaging-offers a vast improvement. These computer-assisted images use a series of captured radiographic information to build an accurate 3D model of a patient’s internal structures, including teeth, bones, nerves and more. With a digital 3D model that can be measured, rotated and integrated with other digital dental applications, a clinician can more accurately diagnose a range of conditions, more precisely plan treatments and more confidently provide care to patients.

These detailed images generally require a greater radiation exposure for patients, so they shouldn’t be taken without a clinical reason. However, when the appropriate clinical situation presents itself, a CBCT image can be a pathway to a higher standard of clinical care.
