CBCT has become increasingly important in treatment planning and diagnosis in implant dentistry.
During dental imaging, the CBCT scanner rotates around the patient’s head, obtaining up to nearly 600 distinct images. The scanning software collects the data and reconstructs it, producing a three-dimensional anatomical image that can then be manipulated and visualized with specialized software.
CBCT has been described as the gold standard for imaging the oral and maxillofacial area.
