CBCT, Panorex, & Cephalometric X-Rays
Achieving accurate diagnoses and treatment plans starts with advanced imaging. CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography), Panorex, and Cephalometric X-rays provide detailed, 3D insights into your oral and facial structures, ensuring precise and effective dental care.
What Are CBCT, Pano, & Ceph X-Rays?
CBCT (Cone Beam CT): Produces 3D images of teeth, bone, soft tissues, and nerve pathways, ideal for implant planning, root canals, and TMJ assessments.
Panorex X-rays: Capture a broad view of the entire mouth, including teeth, jawbones, and sinuses, often used for detecting abnormalities or planning extractions.
Cephalometric X-rays: Focus on the relationship between the teeth, jaws, and head, essential for orthodontic treatment planning.
The Process:
Preparation: You’ll be positioned in the X-ray machine, often with your head stabilized for accuracy.
Imaging: the machine rotates around your head (for CBCT and Panorex) or captures a side view (for Cephalometric).
Review: Your dentist reviews the detailed images to diagnose issues or guide treatment plans.
Indications:
Implant planning
Orthodontic evaluations
TMJ disorders
Complex extractions (e.g., wisdom teeth)
Root canal assessments
Detecting tumors or cysts
Contraindications:
Pregnancy (unless absolutely necessary)
Patients sensitive to radiation (alternative imaging may be suggested)
The Problem These X-Rays Solve:
These imaging technologies provide a clear, detailed understanding of complex oral and facial structures, ensuring accurate diagnoses and reducing the risk of complications during treatments.
Pros:
Highly detailed and accurate imaging
Non-invasive and quick procedure
Essential for precision in advanced treatments
Cons:
Slight exposure to radiation (minimized with modern technology)
May not be suitable for all patients
