CBCT Scan Services

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a specialized imaging technology used in dentistry and maxillofacial practices to produce three-dimensional (3D) images of the teeth, bones, soft tissues, and nerve pathways. It is a highly accurate diagnostic tool that helps dentists and specialists plan treatments with precision and efficiency.

What is a CBCT Scan?

• CBCT uses a cone-shaped X-ray beam that rotates around the patient, capturing multiple images from different angles.
• The data is reconstructed into a detailed 3D image, allowing for better visualization and analysis of the patient’s oral and facial anatomy.

Uses of CBCT in Dentistry

1. Dental Implant Planning

1. • Evaluates bone density, height, and width for implant placement.
   • Identifies the location of vital structures like nerves and sinuses.

2. Orthodontics

1. • Assists in evaluating jaw alignment and tooth positioning.
   • Helps design precise orthodontic treatment plans.

3. Endodontics

1. • Locates canals, cracks, or fractures in teeth.
   • Improves the accuracy of root canal treatments.

4. Oral Surgery and Wisdom Teeth Extraction

1. • Identifies impacted teeth and their proximity to nerves or sinuses.
   • Aids in surgical planning to minimize complications.

5. Periodontology

1. • Assesses bone loss and periodontal disease severity.
   • Monitors regeneration after treatment.

6. TMJ Analysis

1. • Diagnoses temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
   • Provides detailed imaging of the joint structure.

7. Pathology Detection

1. • Detects cysts, tumors, or other abnormalities in the jaw or oral cavity.

8. Facial Trauma Evaluation

1. • Assesses fractures or injuries to the facial bones.

Advantages of CBCT Scans

1. High Precision: Provides detailed 3D images for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
2. Minimized Radiation Exposure: Lower radiation dose compared to conventional CT scans.
3. Non-Invasive: Quick and comfortable for patients, usually completed within seconds.
4. Comprehensive Visualization: Allows for the evaluation of soft tissues, bones, and nerves in a single scan.
5. Enhanced Treatment Outcomes: Enables customized treatment plans tailored to the patient’s specific needs.

The CBCT Scanning Process

1. Preparation

1. • The patient removes any metal objects (e.g., jewelry, glasses) that may interfere with imaging.
   • The patient is seated or positioned in the CBCT machine, depending on the equipment.

2. Scanning

1. • The scanner rotates around the patient’s head, capturing multiple X-ray images.
   • The process is painless and usually takes less than a minute.

3. Image Reconstruction

1. • The captured images are processed into a 3D model using advanced software.
   • The dentist or specialist analyzes the images for diagnosis or treatment planning.
