INFO

Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is the latest technology that allows the recording of smaller or larger segments of bones, teeth and temporomandibular (jaw) joints.

The method enables real-time three-dimensional (3D) imaging and the most detailed submillimeter view of anatomical structures of interest in high diagnostic quality images, with short scan times (4-45 seconds) and radiation doses up to 15 times lower than those of conventional CT machines. It is most often used when planning dental, maxillofacial, implant and endodontic interventions or operations.

The indication for this type of imaging usually exists when standard radiological methods and clinical examination need to be supplemented with a more detailed analysis of anatomical structures in 3D form.

3D IMAGING (CBCT) - Cone beam computed tomography

How is the imaging performed?

Before the shooting itself, it is recommended to remove all jewelry, glasses and mobile parts of prostheses or orthodontic appliances, because their presence can affect the quality of the pictures.

Imaging is performed in a standing / sitting position. The patient is given a protective apron with a 0.5 mm thick layer of lead as protection against X-rays. The patient’s head is carefully placed and it is necessary for the patient to be absolutely calm while filming. Positioning takes a few minutes, The imaging technique is based on a single 360 ° scan in which the X-ray source and the air detector on the other hand move synchronously around the patient’s head which is stabilized by the headrest. Imaging is absolutely painless and lasts less than a minute.
