What is a CBCT Scan and Why Is It Important in Endodontics?
Our practice uses advanced Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) technology to provide the highest level of precision in diagnosis and treatment planning. Unlike traditional dental X-rays, a CBCT scan captures highly detailed 3D images of your teeth, bone, and surrounding structuresβgiving us a complete picture of whatβs happening below the surface.
Why We Use CBCT diagnostics in Endodontics:
Endodontic issues, like infected root canals, fractured teeth, or hidden anatomy, often canβt be fully seen on standard X-rays. CBCT helps us:
- Accurately diagnose complex cases
- Identify hidden canals, fractures, or resorption
- Evaluate bone structure and sinus proximity
- Plan with precision for root canal treatment or retreatment
This detailed insight allows us to deliver more predictable, efficient, and successful outcomes for our patients.
What to Expect:
A CBCT scan is quick, painless, and non-invasive. You simply stand or sit while the scanner rotates around your head. The scan takes less than a minute and typically takes a small field of view around your tooth. We use strict radiation safety protocols, and the radiation dose is significantly lower than that of a medical CT scan.
