Enhance Your Practice and Patient Outcomes by Offering Predictable Implant and Dental Treatment Planning through Cone Beam Computed Tomography and 3-D Imaging

Cone-beam computed tomography is rapidly becoming the standard of care for three-dimensional diagnoses of both simple and complex dental treatments including dental implant insertion, removal of impacted third molars, craniofacial surgery, recalcitrant endodontic lesions, cysts, tumors, and pathology associated with the temporomandibular joint. And this burgeoning field of 3-D imaging will soon make it the standard of care for orthodontic analyses and treatment planning in the coming years.

Compared to medical scanners, dental CBCT scanners are ten times more accurate than their medical counterparts while reducing a patient’s exposure to radiation by more than 500%. Determining if a patient is a suitable implant candidate, avoiding trauma to the inferior mandibular nerve, planning how to augment the reduced bone under the maxillary sinuses, and evaluating how sinus grafts, ridge augmentations, and socket preservation treatments have healed while determining the ideal position for implant placement are just some of the benefits of CBCT.

Since CBCT permits multiple slices through the axial, sagittal, and coronal views, the guesswork is removed when it is critical to determine the width of edentulous ridges and whether or not cancellous bone exists between cortical plates which is crucial for an adequate blood supply so the bone can heal around an implant. In addition, the position of supernumerary and developing tooth buds, whether sockets have filled with bone, if irregularities exist to the condyles, where the mandibular nerve is relative to an impacted tooth and implant sites, or more exact views of the borders of a cyst or tumor are examples of the many benefits of CBCT. And, in addition to reduced radiation exposure and more accurate images, CBCT has the added benefit of taking the maxilla and mandible in a single scan.
