Dental Tomography

Dental tomography or Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is an advanced radiological method that visualizes the structure of the teeth and jaw in three dimensions. It provides more detailed cross-sectional images compared to traditional X-rays.

Why is Dental Tomography Performed?

Implant planning: Evaluating the structure and density of the jawbone.
Impacted teeth: Especially determining the position of wisdom teeth.
Root canal treatment: Detailed examination of the tooth roots and canals.
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders: Evaluating jaw joint disorders.
Tumor or cyst detection: Seeing abnormal formations in and around the jaw.
Orthodontic treatment: Analyzing the position of the teeth and jaw.

Advantages:

Provides high resolution and three-dimensional images.
It has a fast shooting time.
The radiation dose is lower than that of conventional CT.

Diagnosis and treatment planning for dentists and oral surgeons

It is a very important tool.
