The Most Advanced Dental Imaging Technology
The success of any dental treatment depends not only on the expertise of the dental practitioner and the cooperation of the patient, but also on the technology being used.
Speaking about the latest in technology, 3D imaging has become quite a critical tool for modern dental practices over the years. It allows practitioners to see important information that can’t be detected using traditional 2D imaging systems alone.
Dr. Anil Yadav Dental Clinic recognizes the need for enhanced treatments and patient experience and thus offers the CBCT – the latest in 3D dental imaging for improved diagnoses, better communication between dentists and patients and more efficient treatment planning.
The CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) gives a very detailed 3-dimensional image in contrast to conventional x-rays which only give a 2-dimensional image. The 3D image makes the understanding of the patient’s problem much better improving the quality of care dental practitioners can provide.
The CBCT is used when a patient has a complex problem and is utilized to plan the surgical procedure to improve predictability, quality and safety of the procedure. It is also used to plan and simulate dental implant surgery ensuring that the most suitable type of implant is used and securing that no nerve damage or damage to other structures happen during the surgery.
We have the CBCT in the clinic and you can get your scan done within a few minutes.
How long does it take to get the scan?
We have the CBCT in the clinic and you can get your scan done within a few minutes.
When can i get the result?
Results are available immediately.
Is there anything i need to do before i come for my appointment?
No, during a clinical examination it is determined whether a CBCT will be of benefit to your care, and if so it can be done right away.
Should amount of x-rays or radiation worry me?
No, the CBCT that we have gives the smallest amount of radiation of any CBCT machines; it corresponds roughly to two panoramic x-rays or the amount of background radiation you get if you do a roundtrip flight from Paris to Tokyo – and think about it, pilots are up there every day.
How safe is the CBCT? can anyone have their scans taken with the CBCT?
The CBCT is very safe. Our CBCT has a very strong electronic sensor which makes it possible to capture the images with minimal radiation dose. In principle, anyone can have a CBCT scan – however, you have to keep your head without movement during the scan so small children and patients who are not able to keep their head still are the limitations.
How important is the CBCT for oral & maxillofacial surgeon?
It is a fantastic tool as the Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon is able to understand the problem he is dealing with in 3-dimensions in a very detailed way,
