CBCT diagnose and planning
CBCT diagnose and planning
CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) is a scanning technology that uses X-rays to create three-dimensional images of dental and bone structures. It provides detailed views of the mouth, face, and jaw, which are essential for diagnosis and treatment planning in dentistry.
- Uses of CBCT
- Dental implant planning: Evaluating bone structures before implant placement.
- Diagnosis of oral diseases: Identifying issues such as cysts, tumors, and infections.
- Evaluation of temporomandibular disorders: Diagnosing problems with the jaw joints.
- Treatment of periodontal diseases: Assessing bone loss around teeth.
- Advantages of CBCT
- Three-dimensional images: Provides more detailed and accurate views compared to traditional X-rays.
- High detail: Can identify small structures not visible in 2D images.
- Low radiation dose: The radiation dose is lower compared to traditional CT scans.
- Quick procedure: Typically performed in just a few minutes.
- Wide application: Used in many areas of dentistry and oral surgery, ideal for dental tourism in Albania.
- Disadvantages of CBCT
- Radiation exposure: Although lower than traditional CT, there is still a small risk of exposure.
- Data interpretation: Requires expertise to interpret images and make accurate diagnoses.
- Blurry images: If the patient moves during the scan, the images may be blurry or inaccurate.
