CBCT (cone beam computed tomography) uses systems that are ideal in capturing three-dimensional images in the head and neck region. One benefit of this technology is its ability to provide submillimeter resolution in terms of images, while exposing patients to significantly less radiation that conventional, medical grade CT. The images provided are also high in diagnostic quality. CBCT is now also used by a lot of dental professionals because of its short scanning period. It only takes about 10 to 70 seconds to complete scans.
In planning patient cases in a virtual, 3-D environment, the technology allows Dr. Seda to more thoroughly analyze and plan cases, leading to significantly higher success rates, fewer complications, and shorter treatment times.
