Cone Beam Computed Tomography

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is an advanced imaging technique that provides endodontists with detailed three-dimensional views of teeth and surrounding structures. In specific cases, CBCT significantly enhances diagnostic accuracy, treatment planning, and patient outcomes in endodontic care.

During a CBCT scan, the machine rotates around the patient’s head, capturing multiple images using a cone-shaped X-ray beam. These images are then reconstructed into a 3D model of the oral and maxillofacial region, allowing clinicians to visualize complex structures with greater precision.
