What is CBCT?

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a new digital three-dimensional imaging technology, which has been specifically developed for imaging of the teeth and jaws. CBCT uses a cone-shaped beam and digital processing to reconstruct a virtually distortion-free 3-D image.

At Smile Point Dental with our German-made state-of-the-art Sirona Orthophos XG CBCT machine we can achieve greater diagnostic accuracy for all dental cases ranging from root canal treatment to implant placement, and the 3D software provides precise anatomical measurements and the opportunity to evaluate and document incidental findings with the lowest possible radiation dose.

Clinical use:

Out patients benefit from the seamless clinical workflow that is possible with CBCT machines. With just a few clicks of a mouse, we can perform a complete range of tasks, such as generate X-ray images, perform in-depth diagnostics, treatment plan and order surgical guides.

Clinical applications of CBCT imaging

• Implant planning and site development
• Extractions — helps determine location of nerves, sinus, and roots
• Orthodontics — jaw symmetry, configuration of roots, impacted canines
• Oral Maxillofacial — Wisdom teeth, fractures, jaw pathology
• Periodontics — sinus augmentation, advanced grafting procedures, periodontal defects
• Endodontics — canal measurements, additional canals, configuration of root canals

Benefits of CBCT imaging

• The scan is fast and comfortable to the patient.
• Reduction in metal artifacts.
• One scan produces a volume of images that can be viewed and manipulated.
• Clinicians can illustrate recommended treatment plans to patients using 3-D software.
• No superimposition and minimal distortion.
• Allows clinician to visualize internal anatomy that cannot be diagnosed externally.
• Lower cost and radiation dosage for patient when compared to traditional CT.

Our patients enjoy our responsiveness and the ability to instantly view digital images required for dental procedures, combined with the crisp, well-defined 3D volumetric images and save our patients a trip to a Radiology Centre and without the need of additional appointment.
