Cone Beam Computed Tomography

Dental Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a particular type of X-ray machine used in situations where a traditional dental X-ray is not sufficient. It is also used as diagnostic imaging to find the pathology of oral and maxillofacial (jaw and face) structures.

This type of CT scanner uses a special kind of technology to generate three-dimensional (3-D) images of dental structures, soft tissues, nerve paths, and bone in the craniofacial region in a single scan. Images obtained with Cone Beam CT allow for more precise treatment planning.
