What is CBCT?

CBCT (cone beam computed tomography) technology provides a three-dimensional image viewing to capture data and creating of 3D images of patient’s oral anatomy. For this reason, CBCT could be used for surgical fields but also to support treatments such as endodontics (root canals), prosthodontics, and orthodontics for appropriate treatment planning and effective dental care.

CBCT for Implants

There are various reasons why a CBCT scan is critical element when planning dental implants for a patient. For the implant to be placed safely and without disruption to critical nerves or other important structures, it is essential for your dentist to be able to see where it will be located. This is where CBCT scanning comes in.

The CBCT scan will produce 3D cross-sectional images of the jaws and teeth which provide detailed information about the area which cannot be obtained just with a normal x-ray. This enables your dentist to assess where the implant post will be located and check that the bone is a suitable shape and density to regrow around it and secure it in place. It also minimizes the risk of problems like nerve damage occurring, making the entire process safer and more likely to succeed.

Also, it is important to note that the CBCT is smaller, faster and safer than regular CT scans. This is because the cone-shape of the x-ray beam enables the radiation dosage required to be lower, and the time needed to scan the jaw is also reduced.
