01 · WHAT IS CBCT?
See beyond conventional radiographs
Modern endodontics uses cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), an advanced form of imaging in three dimensions. This technology allows teeth, root canals and surrounding tissues to be examined in far greater detail than with conventional radiographs in two dimensions.
CBCT allows the tooth to be viewed in three dimensions from multiple angles, supporting a more accurate assessment of root canal anatomy, surrounding bone and nearby structures such as sinuses and nerves. This provides valuable information for diagnosis and treatment planning.
02 · MODERN DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING
When details make the difference.
Accurate assessment
Gain more information for diagnosis and treatment planning in selected cases.
Targeted scanning
Scanning is performed when clinically indicated, using an appropriate field of view.
03 · CLINICAL INDICATIONS
When is a 3D scan appropriate?
3D imaging can be particularly useful in complex cases, including:
Suspected occult infections
Retreatment of teeth that have previously received root canal treatment
Cracks or fractures in teeth
Complex root anatomy
Persistent symptoms without clear findings on conventional radiographs
Suspected root resorption

05 · PRECISE DIAGNOSIS
Small inflammatory lesions or anatomical features can sometimes be difficult or impossible to identify on conventional radiographs. In selected cases, CBCT can help identify findings more accurately.
TARGETED EXAMINATION
High diagnostic value. Radiation exposure kept as low as reasonably achievable.
A targeted scan and appropriate protocol using a low radiation dose are used to maximise diagnostic value while minimising radiation exposure to the patient.
