Description

Cone-beam computed tomography systems (CBCT) used at Winyah Dental Group rotate around the patient, capturing data using a cone-shaped X-ray beam. We then use this data to reconstruct a three-dimensional (3D) image of the teeth, mouth, jaw, and neck.

 

Uses

We are then able to use the 3D images for various clinical applications, including:

​

• Dental implant planning

• Visualization of abnormal teeth

• Evaluation of the jaws and face

• Cleft palate assessment

• Diagnosis of dental caries (cavities)

• Endodontic (root canal) diagnosis

• Diagnosis of dental trauma.
