Arguably the most important advanced technology in endodontics, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has become an indispensable tool in the diagnosis and treatment of a compromised tooth. Providing doctors with unprecedented 3D imaging of structures beneath the surface of the teeth and gums, CBCT scans take a very small 3D image of the jaw and teeth, drastically reducing exposure to radiation. The CBCT imaging system involves a digital x-ray scanner that rotates once around your head while you’re standing or sitting. The quick, simple and comfortable process produces precise images from every angle that help provide the best care in root canal treatment and other endodontic procedures.
