Cone Beam CT Scanner

Cone-beam computed tomography scans (CBCT) are a variation of traditional computed tomography (CT) scans with lower patient radiation dosage. The CBCT scan used by dental professionals rotate around the patient, capturing data using a cone-shaped X-ray beam. The data is used to reconstruct a 3D image of the following regions of the patient’s anatomy: dental (teeth); oral and maxillofacial region (mouth, jaw, and neck).

Dental CBCT scans are increasingly used by radiologists and dental professionals for various clinical applications including dental implant planning, visualization of abnormal teeth, evaluation of the jaws and face, cleft palate assessment, diagnosis of dental caries (cavities), endodontic (root canal) diagnosis, and diagnosis of dental trauma.

Trios 3 oral scanner

The new 3Shape TRIOS MOVE is the ultimate patient/dentist communication tool. It replaces the need for taking traditional impressions in a tray improving overall patient comfort. It works by taking thousands of photographic images of a patients mouth and piecing them together to create a 3D image which can then be used for a multitude of applications from crown, bridge and implant cases, orthodontic treatment planning. Patients can see their digital scans on the screen and can help tremendously with joint treatment planning.
