Why do I need a CBCT?

Cone beam computed tomography is an innovative medical imaging technique that provides endodontists with three-dimensional views of the patient’s teeth and surrounding structures. In certain cases, CBCT images greatly enhance the endodontist's ability to diagnose, evaluate, and treat their patients.

During a CBCT scan, the machine rotates around the patient’s head, capturing numerous images using a cone-shaped X-ray beam. These images are then used to construct a 3-D representation of the scanned oral and maxillofacial region helping the clinician visualize the area.
