cone-beam computed tomography
TRANSCRIPT
A skilled dentist and oral surgeon, Dr. AnupMuduli earned his dental degree from the New Jersey Dental School and has completed four years of additional professional training in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Since 2008, Dr. AnupMuduli has owned and operated Ramapo Valley Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, PC, in Oakland, New Jersey, where he offers patients the latest treatments and technologies, including cone-beam computed tomography.
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.
