CBCT systems used by dental professionals rotate around the patient, capturing data using a cone-shaped X-ray beam. This data is used to reconstruct a three-dimensional (3D) image of the of the patient\u2019s head and neck. CBCT uses more radiation than regular dental teeth x-rays, but still less than 10% of the radiation used in conventional medical CT scan of the same area.<\/p>\n

This is the Carestream 9300 Imaging machine we have at the University of Maryland Dental School. I mostly use this to plan dental implant placement.<\/p>\n

Dentists use Cone Beam CT imaging for the following:<\/span>\u2022 3-D observation of overall oral\/facial bony characteristics, allowing easier diagnosis and placement of dental implants <\/span>\u2022 Surgical guide fabrication for implant placement \u2022 3-D observation of teeth for endodontic diagnosis and treatment \u2022 Diagnosis and treatment of tooth impactions \u2022 Identification of inferior alveolar nerve and mental foramen location \u2022 Identification of the location of the maxillary sinus \u2022 Identification of the presence of odontogenic lesions \u2022 Trauma evaluation and treatment \u2022 Analysis of temporomandibular joint characteristics leading to diagnosis and treatment \u2022 Integration with CAD\/CAM devices for fabrication of prosthodontics or orthodontic appliances \u2022 Identification for referral of numerous conditions or diseases not normally within the realm of dentistry, but that can be shown on typical cone beam images.<\/span><\/p>\n
