VS Dental Clinic is equipped with an Acteon CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) scanner that offers a host of benefits specifically for dental treatments, ensuring precision, safety, and enhanced patient outcomes:
High Precision for Accurate Diagnosis: The CBCT provides detailed 3D imaging, allowing dentists to view complex structures like nerves, sinuses, and bone density. This accuracy is especially important for procedures involving dental implants, orthodontics, and root canals, as it ensures precise diagnostics and treatment planning.
Optimal Implant Placement: For dental implants, the CBCT images provide detailed insights into bone density and volume, helping dentists choose the ideal implant size, angle, and location. This precision minimizes the risk of complications and improves implant stability and longevity.
Enhanced Endodontic Treatment: In root canal therapy, CBCT imaging helps visualize tooth roots and surrounding tissues in 3D, making it easier to locate and treat all canals effectively, reducing the chance of missed canals or infections.
Safer Extractions and Impacted Tooth Management: CBCT imaging is invaluable for wisdom tooth extractions and impacted canines. By showing the exact position of the teeth and their relation to vital structures like nerves, CBCT imaging reduces the risk of nerve damage and enhances surgical precision.
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Evaluation: For patients with jaw pain or TMJ disorders, CBCT provides detailed images of the joint, allowing for a better assessment of the condition and aiding in effective treatment planning.
Reduced Radiation Exposure: Acteon CBCT is designed with patient safety in mind, utilizing a cone beam that focuses on the area of interest, thereby reducing radiation exposure compared to traditional CT scans.
Quick, Comprehensive Scans: The entire scan takes just seconds, making it efficient and convenient. Immediate digital images also allow dentists to analyze and discuss treatment options on the same day, streamlining the treatment process.
By providing precise, safe, and efficient imaging, CBCT significantly enhances treatment quality and patient safety in various dental procedures, from implants to TMJ assessment.
