🔎 Understanding Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is an advanced type of X-ray equipment used in dentistry that creates highly detailed three-dimensional (3D) images of your teeth, jawbone, nerve pathways, and surrounding structures.
Think of traditional dental X-rays as a flat, 2D photograph; structures can overlap, making it hard to judge depth. CBCT, on the other hand, takes hundreds of images in a single rotation using a cone-shaped beam and then reconstructs them into a complete 3D virtual model. This provides dental professionals with an unparalleled, non-distorted view of your entire oral anatomy, which is essential for complex procedures.
