Accurate Diagnosis: CBCT imaging enables us to diagnose complex endodontic cases more accurately. It provides detailed information about the anatomy, size, and configuration of root canals, as well as the presence of any additional canals, calcifications, or resorption. This increases the chances of successful outcomes.

Easier Treatment Planning: CBCT imaging plays a vital role in treatment planning for complex endodontic procedures. It allows our endodontists to visualize the spatial relationships between the teeth, surrounding structures, and any pathology present. This information helps in determining the best approach for the treatment, such as identifying the exact location for surgical access, evaluating the extent of root fractures, or assessing the suitability for endodontic retreatment.

Evaluation of Periapical Lesions: CBCT imaging is highly effective in assessing periapical lesions, such as cysts, granulomas, or abscesses. It provides a three-dimensional view of the lesion's size, location, and proximity to vital structures. This information aids in precise diagnosis and helps in planning the appropriate treatment, whether it involves nonsurgical endodontic therapy, surgical intervention, or a combination of both.

Trauma Assessment: In cases of dental trauma, CBCT imaging can be crucial in evaluating the extent of damage to the tooth, root fractures, or alveolar bone fractures. It provides detailed information about the precise location and severity of the trauma, facilitating proper treatment planning and decision-making when time is of the essence.

Dental Implant Planning: CBCT Imaging is also used for implant planning. Typically a full mouth scan is taken to evaluate the bone and surrounding structures. This is different than the CBCT we take, which only exposes several teeth in the area and allows us to see the intricacies of the canals and changes in bone.
