CBCT Scan (Cone Beam CT) – Advanced 3D Dental Imaging
What is CBCT?
CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) is an advanced 3D imaging technology used in dentistry to capture highly detailed images of teeth, jawbones, nerves, sinuses, and surrounding structures. Unlike traditional X-rays, CBCT provides three-dimensional, high-resolution images, allowing for accurate diagnosis and precise treatment planning.
Why is CBCT Important in Dentistry?
CBCT scans help dentists and specialists visualise complex dental structures that are not visible in regular 2D X-rays. It plays a crucial role in safe, predictable, and successful dental treatments.
Uses of CBCT Scan
CBCT is commonly used for:
- Dental Implant Planning – Accurate assessment of bone height, width, and nerve position
- Root Canal Treatment (Endodontics) – Detection of extra canals, root fractures, and infections
- Orthodontic Assessment – Jaw alignment, impacted teeth, and airway analysis
- Wisdom Tooth Evaluation – Exact position of impacted teeth and nearby nerves
- TMJ Disorders – Detailed view of jaw joints
- Sinus Evaluation – For sinus lift and implant planning
- Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery – Trauma, cysts, tumors, and jaw pathologies
Benefits of CBCT Scan
- High-resolution 3D images
- Accurate diagnosis and treatment planning
- Lower radiation dose compared to conventional CT
- Quick and painless procedure
- Non-invasive and patient-friendly
- Improves treatment safety and outcomes
CBCT Scan Procedure
The CBCT scan is simple and quick:
- The patient stands or sits comfortably
- The scanner rotates around the head
- Images are captured within 20–40 seconds
- No pain or discomfort involved
Is CBCT Safe?
Yes. CBCT uses a low radiation dose, much lower than traditional medical CT scans, making it safe when prescribed by your dentist for diagnostic purposes.
