Dental Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a revolutionary imaging technology that has become indispensable in modern dentistry. Offering three-dimensional views of a patient’s oral and maxillofacial structures, dental CBCT systems allow dentists and specialists to diagnose and plan treatments with unparalleled precision.
In this article, we’ll explore some of the main benefits of dental CBCT technology for you and your patients, and why it has become a must-have for many dental practices.
What Advantages Dental CBCT Offers
- Enhanced Diagnostic Accuracy and Image Clarity: Dental CBCT provides clear, extremely detailed images that enable precise diagnosis and treatment planning. The 3D view eliminates the guesswork associated with overlapping structures in 2D imaging. Moreover, with dental CBCT, one scan can capture both hard and soft tissues in exceptional detail.
- Comprehensive Imaging: With CBCT, dentists can capture multiple types of views—panoramic, cephalometric, and 3D—using a single machine. Many systems combine multiple modalities into one single unit.
- Improved Patient Communication: The detailed images allow dentists to explain conditions and treatment plans to patients visually, increasing understanding and case acceptance. Some patients may also find it easier to understand the visualization offered by CBCT technology.
- Minimized Radiation Exposure: Modern CBCT systems use low-dose technology to ensure patient safety while delivering high-quality images. Some systems, such as those of Planmeca, offer specialized, proprietary, “Ultra Low Dose Technology” imaging protocols that significantly reduce radiation exposure. Also, with CBCT, radiation exposure can be restricted to the area of interest.
- Streamlined Workflow: A single CBCT scan can replace multiple 2D X-rays, saving time and reducing the need for additional imaging sessions, which provides a positive feedback reduction in overall radiation exposure.
6 Faster Scan Times: Most dental CBCT scan times are very fast and result in less discomfort for the patient. This may also increase operational efficiency and turnaround for your practice.
- Increased Patient Comfort: With a CBCT scan, there’s no need for the patient to bite down on anything. The entire process of capturing a CBCT image is less intrusive and results in greater patient comfort overall.
