Our Centres of Excellence bring together multidisciplinary teams to deliver precise diagnosis, advanced treatments, and superior outcomes across a wide spectrum of medical specialties.

Medical professionals in hospital setting

OVERVIEW

Cone-beam computed tomography operates within diagnostic radiology to produce high-resolution three-dimensional representations of hard tissue structures. By rotating a cone-shaped X-ray beam and a detector around the patient, CBCT captures complete volume data in a single rotation. This technology supports precise diagnosis, treatment planning, and anatomical risk assessment across dental and maxillofacial specialties while delivering lower radiation doses than medical CT scans.

PROCEDURE

The patient stands or sits inside the CBCT unit and rests their chin on a supportive platform. A plastic bite piece helps maintain jaw positioning. Head support arms keep the head still. Alignment lasers project onto the face to center the target area within the scanner field. Once positioned, the gantry rotates 180 to 360 degrees around the head in 10 to 40 seconds. The patient breathes normally but must remain completely motionless and avoid swallowing during the sweep. The software converts raw projection data into 3D cross-sectional views for clinical review.

BENEFITS

Clinical benefits of CBCT include accurate 1:1 scale three-dimensional anatomical rendering, sub-millimeter spatial resolution, reduced radiation exposure compared to medical CT scans, rapid acquisition time, and multiplanar reformatting capabilities that eliminate structure overlapping inherent in 2D radiography.

RECOVERY

There is no physical recovery period following a CBCT scan. The diagnostic procedure is non-invasive and painless. Patients can immediately return to normal daily activities, including driving, working, eating, and exercise, without downtime or post-procedural restrictions.

WHAT WE TREAT

CBCT scanning assists in evaluating impacted teeth, localized jawbone volume prior to dental implant placement, complex root canal anatomy, jaw cysts and tumors, temporomandibular joint osseous changes, facial bone fractures, and upper airway anatomical variations associated with sleep disorders.

PREPARATION

Preparation requires removing all metallic objects from the head and neck area, including earrings, necklaces, piercings, hairpins, eyeglasses, hearing aids, and removable dental appliances like dentures or retainers. No fasting, fluid restriction, or medication adjustments are required. Patients who may be pregnant must inform the clinical staff prior to the scan.

RISKS

CBCT involves exposure to ionizing radiation, though doses are significantly lower than conventional medical CT. Potential risks include radiation dose accumulation over time and image distortion caused by motion or metallic dental restorations (beam hardening artifacts). There is a small possibility of incidental findings outside the primary area of interest that require secondary evaluation.

JOURNEY

The CBCT diagnostic journey begins with a clinical evaluation by a dentist or specialist to determine image necessity. During the appointment, the patient removes head and neck metal objects, aligns with laser positioning guides, and remains still for a 10-to-40-second scan rotation. The acquired raw volumetric data undergoes software reconstruction into three-dimensional planes. The treating clinician or oral radiologist interprets the scan to formulate an targeted treatment plan.
