3D Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a cutting-edge imaging technology that has revolutionized dentistry. This imaging technology provides a detailed three-dimensional image of the oral and maxillofacial region (mouth, jaw, and neck), and the ear-nose-and-throat region, allowing it to get an accurate view of anatomical structures from multiple angles for precise diagnosis and treatment planning.
The use process of the CBCT involves the patient standing while the CBCT device rotates around their head, capturing multiple images from different angles. These images are then reconstructed into a single 3D model that can be manipulated and viewed from various perspectives on a computer screen.
3D CBCT Imaging has the ability to provide high-resolution images with significantly less radiation exposure compared to traditional CT scans. This makes 3D CBCT imaging a safer choice for patients, especially children and adolescents.
