Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is an imaging modality that uses a cone-shaped x-ray beam to reconstruct a three-dimensional image of a solid object’s internal structures. First introduced in the United States in 2001, CBCT technology has advanced significantly in the decade-plus since, and more and more dentists and oral surgeons have begun to use CBCT devices in their offices.

Recommended by the American Academy

of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiologists, CBCT

scanners have a wide range of clinical

applications because they give dentists a

detailed three-dimensional view of

components of the jaw and teeth, such as

root canals, fillings, nerves, and bone

structure. These images can then be used

to diagnose and plan a course of

treatment for a range of dental conditions.
