Revolutionary Three-Dimensional Imaging
Contemporary dental diagnostics necessitate advanced visualization methods that outstrip the capabilities of conventional two-dimensional X-rays. Cone beam computed tomography offers intricate three-dimensional visuals of teeth, osseous structures, neural pathways, and adjacent tissues. Dr. Kurosch Hatami and associates harnesses this cutting-edge imaging technology to refine treatment planning accuracy and elevate patient outcomes across various dental disciplines.
Superior Diagnostic Insights with CBCT Technology
Cone beam imaging delivers extensive visualization of oral and maxillofacial anatomy in a singular scan. This innovative technology captures cross-sectional images from diverse perspectives, constructing intricate three-dimensional reconstructions that unveil anatomical relationships that standard radiography may overlook. The augmented diagnostic data facilitates more precise treatment planning for intricate interventions.
- Accurate assessment of bone density and volume for implant procedures
- In-depth imaging of root canal structures and related pathologies
- Clear visualization of temporomandibular joint anatomy and functionality
- Exact evaluation of impacted teeth locations and adjacent structures
Simplified Imaging Procedures and Patient Comfort
The cone beam imaging session requires minimal preparation from the patient and is completed swiftly, typically within 10 to 40 seconds, based on the region being scanned. Patients can either sit or stand as the imaging apparatus rotates around their head, capturing hundreds of images that are then synthesized into detailed three-dimensional models. This technique significantly reduces radiation exposure compared to traditional CT scans while ensuring superior image clarity for dental applications.
Common Inquiries Regarding Cone Beam CBCT Imaging
What distinguishes cone beam imaging from standard dental X-rays?
Cone beam technology captures three-dimensional images that illustrate bone structures, soft tissues, and nerve pathways from multiple viewpoints, while traditional X-rays yield only two-dimensional representations with limited anatomical detail.

Is cone beam imaging safe for patients?
CBCT scans expose patients to significantly lower radiation levels than conventional CT scans while still offering detailed diagnostic insights. The imaging process adheres to rigorous safety protocols to minimize exposure.
What is the duration of the cone beam scanning process?
The actual scanning duration varies between 10 to 40 seconds, depending on the area being examined. The total time spent in the appointment, including patient positioning, generally takes about 15 to 20 minutes.
