CBCT Planning3D Imaging for Implant Diagnostics
- Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) provides 3D imaging of the jaw, teeth, sinuses, nerves, and surrounding structures - essential for safe and precise implant planning.
Why Does CBCT Matter for Implant Planning?
CBCT matters because it replaces an approximate 2D panoramic image with a full 3D volume, giving precise bone measurement, exact nerve canal and sinus floor visibility, and full trajectory simulation before any drilling starts, none of which a standard 2D OPG scan can provide.
| Feature | 2D OPG | 3D CBCT |
|---|---|---|
| Imaging plane | Single (panoramic) | Full 3D volume |
| Bone measurement | Approximate | Precise (±0.1mm) |
| Nerve canal visibility | Limited | Exact position mapped |
| Sinus floor visibility | Approximate | Exact height measured |
| Implant trajectory planning | Not possible | Full 3D simulation |
| Radiation dose | 14-24 μSv | 20-200 μSv |
| Cost in Canada | $100-$330 | $250-$550 |
