About Dental Cone Beam

Cone Beam Computerized Tomography (CBCT) scanners presented the opportunity to obtain a 3-dimensional view of the mouth, that improved diagnosis, facilitated treatment planning and enhanced opportunities for patient education. Before in-office CBCTs became available, many patients who needed 3-D scans were referred out to hospital or imaging centers to obtain medical CTs.

ARS DENTAL is of the opinion that As Low As Reasonably Achievable,to establish safe radiation levels for patients, while collecting the most detailed information on their patients. The dental scan exposes the patient to up to 100 times less radiation than conventional CTs. (CBCT runs 36 microsieverts com-pared to an average medical CT scan of the oral-maxillofacial area that can reach levels of 180 to 2100 microsieverts, a typical 2D full mouth series runs 150 microsieverts while a 2D digital panoramic image ranges between 4.7-14.9 microsieverts.

Before even picking up a scalpel, we can with a Cone Beam CT determine bone structure and tooth orientation, view nerve canals, and pathology; and as a result, sometimes avoid the exploratory surgery needed to determine certain conditions that exist under the gum tissues. We are having access to information such as density, precise width and depth of bone and exact to.
