Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a specialized X-ray imaging technique used in dentistry and medical fields to produce detailed three-dimensional images of a patient's anatomy.
It uses a cone-shaped X-ray beam to capture multiple images from various angles, which are then reconstructed to create a 3D image of the target area.
CBCT is particularly valuable in dentistry for its ability to provide highly accurate and comprehensive images of the teeth, jawbones, and surrounding structures. It is commonly used for:
It's important to note that while CBCT provides valuable diagnostic information, it also exposes patients to a higher dose of radiation compared to traditional dental X-rays. As a result, dentists carefully consider the need for CBCT and use it when the benefits outweigh the risks. Patients should discuss their concerns with their dental professional and be aware of the potential benefits and risks associated with CBCT imaging.
