CBCT Scan in Sri Petaling, KL

Cone Beam CT Scan

At E. L. Lim Dental Surgery, we prioritise providing comprehensive dental care with the most advanced technology. One such tool in our arsenal is the dental cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan. This innovative imaging technique offers a 3D view of your teeth, jawbone, and surrounding structures, providing invaluable insights for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

What is a Dental CBCT Scan?

CBCT stands for cone beam computed tomography. Unlike a traditional dental X-ray, which provides a flat, two-dimensional image, a dental CBCT scan captures a series of detailed cross-sectional images of your teeth, jawbone, nerves, and sinuses. This 3D representation allows dentists to visualise hidden structures and potential issues with exceptional clarity.

It does this using an X-ray source and a detector. The source emits a cone-shaped beam of X-rays, unlike the flat fan-shaped beam used in regular dental X-rays. The X-ray source and detector are mounted on a gantry that rotates around your head during the scan, allowing for the capture of multiple images from different angles.

Powerful computer software takes centre stage here. It utilises sophisticated algorithms to analyse the collected two-dimensional X-ray images. The final product of the CBCT scan is a high-resolution 3D digital model. This model allows dentists to virtually “slice” through your jaw and examine your teeth, bone density, nerves, and sinuses in great detail.

Benefits of CBCT Scan

Improved Diagnosis

A CBCT scan can reveal intricate details that might be missed on a traditional X-ray, aiding in the diagnosis of complex dental problems like:

  • Impacted teeth
  • Jawbone fractures
  • Bone density for implant placement
  • Root canal anatomy
  • Sinus issues affecting tooth roots

Enhanced Treatment Planning

The 3D visualisation enables dentists to plan treatments more precisely, such as:

  • Implant placement surgery
  • Wisdom teeth extraction
  • Complex restorative procedures
  • Orthognathic/corrective jaw surgery 
  • Precise measurement of anatomical landmarks

When Do I Need a CBCT Scan?

Your dentist might recommend an CBCT scan for various reasons, including —

Dental Implant Placement: Planning for dental implants requires precise knowledge of your jawbone anatomy, including bone density and nerve location. A CBCT scan allows dentists to determine the optimal placement and size for implants, maximising success rates and minimising risks.

Evaluating Complex Tooth Extractions: Wisdom teeth extractions can be tricky due to their often-impacted position and proximity to nerves. A CBCT scan reveals the exact location and angulation of the wisdom tooth and its relationship to surrounding structures. This allows for a more predictable and less invasive extraction procedure.

Diagnosing Jawbone Fractures or Cysts: Traditional X-rays might not provide a clear picture of fractures or cysts within the jawbone. A CBCT scan’s detailed 3D view allows dentists to pinpoint the location, size, and extent of these issues, facilitating accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

Planning for Orthodontic Treatment in Complex Cases: For traditional braces or Invisalign treatment in complex cases involving severe misalignment, crowded teeth, or impacted teeth, a CBCT scan provides invaluable insights. The 3D model allows orthodontists to visualise the underlying bone structure, root positions, and potential challenges, enabling them to develop a more precise and effective treatment plan for optimal tooth movement.

The CBCT Scan Procedure

A CBCT scan is a quick and painless procedure. You’ll be comfortably seated in a specialised scanner, and the machine will rotate around your head, capturing the necessary images. The entire process typically takes only a few minutes.

At our dental clinic, patient safety is our priority. We use advanced digital OPG technology that minimises radiation exposure while delivering high-quality images. We also employ protective gear like lead aprons and thyroid collars for additional safety measures.
