Cone Beam 3D CT (CBCT) is a modern radiological diagnostic methodology that allows you to reproduce sections of the examined object and then generate a three-dimensional image thanks to the images acquired by a digital sensor and processed by a computer.

The images are characterized by high spatial resolution and correspondence to anatomical reality (1:1 ratio).

It allows you to evaluate the structures in a three-dimensional way. For example, you can see the thickness of the bone and the position of the nerve for the positioning of the implants, the position of the roots of the included teeth with respect to the nerve, the presence and position of granulomas,

The machine can also perform dental orthopantomography. It is characterized by ease and speed of examination and by a low radiation dose but the images obtained are two-dimensional and therefore with problems of overlapping of the anatomical structures.

Compared to a Multi-Detector Computed Tomography (Dentascan), the Cone Beam allows for a shorter examination duration and above all a reduced radiation dose.
