Cone Beam Computed Tomography, often known as dental CBCT, is a form of medical imaging procedure used in dentistry to create 3D images of the teeth, jaw, and surrounding tissues. While it uses a cone-shaped X-ray beam that rotates around the head to produce detailed images of the mouth and teeth, it is similar to regular CT scanning.
Dental CBCT has a variety of uses in dentistry, including implant planning, planning orthodontic therapy, evaluating impacted teeth, diagnosing oral illnesses, and assessing the jaw and its surrounding tissues. Dental CBCT produces 3D images that are far more accurate and detailed than conventional 2D X-rays, which can be useful for diagnosis and treatment planning.
Dental CBCT can be particularly helpful for the average person in situations where more in-depth imaging is required to correctly identify and treat dental issues. For instance, it can assist dentists in pinpointing the location and size of dental cavities or in determining how much bone has been lost as a result of periodontal disease. By precisely measuring the height and width of the jawbone and identifying any potential difficulties or challenges, it can also be utilised to design the placement of dental implants.
Overall, dental CBCT is used to provide dentists with a more thorough and accurate assessment of the patient's dental anatomy and any underlying problems, which can lead to better treatment outcomes. It can assist dentists in making better treatment decisions, resulting in more effective and successful procedures with fewer problems. Dental CBCT should only be used when absolutely essential and after carefully weighing the risks and benefits, as with any medical imaging method.
