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
