What is CBCT?

CBCT, or Cone Beam Computed Tomography, is a 3D X-ray imaging technique used in dentistry and medicine to create detailed scans of teeth, jaws, nasal passages, and other bony structures, offering clearer views than traditional 2D X-rays for complex diagnoses like implant planning, oral surgery, and TMJ issues, while often using lower radiation doses than conventional CT scans.

How it Works?

• A cone-shaped X-ray beam rotates around the patient's head.
• It captures multiple images from different angles in one rotation.
• Software reconstructs these images to create detailed 3D models of the oral and maxillofacial region.

Advantages over Traditional CT

• Lower Radiation Dose: Generally exposes patients to less radiation.
• Higher Detail for Bone: Excellent for visualizing hard tissues.
• Compact Size: More suitable for dental offices.
• Faster: Decreased scan times.
