CBCT Scanning
CBCT Scanning - Kana Health Group
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a specialized imaging technology widely used in dentistry and maxillofacial practices to produce detailed 3D images of the teeth, soft tissues, nerve pathways, and bone in a single scan. Unlike traditional 2D X-rays, CBCT provides more accurate and comprehensive views, which are essential for precise diagnosis and treatment planning. It is particularly valuable in implant planning, root canal treatments, jaw assessments, and evaluating bone structures before complex dental procedures.
The scanning process is quick, typically lasting under a minute, and involves significantly lower radiation exposure compared to conventional CT scans. Patients benefit from a more efficient diagnostic experience, with minimal discomfort and faster results. Dentists and specialists rely on CBCT images to make informed decisions, reduce the risk of complications, and improve the outcomes of surgical or restorative procedures.
