Dental Cone Beam Computed Tomography
Dental cone beam computed tomography (CT) is a special type of x-ray equipment used when regular dental or facial x-rays are not satisfactory. This procedure requires little to no special preparation. It is not used routinely because the radiation exposure from this scanner is significantly more than regular dental x-rays. This type of CT scanner uses a special type of technology to generate three dimensional (3-D) images of dental structures, soft tissues, nerve paths and bone in the craniofacial region in a single scan. Dental cone beam CT is commonly used for treatment planning of orthodontic issues.
