For precise diagnostics and safe treatment planning, we use three-dimensional imaging with CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) at our practice in Freienstein. Unlike conventional two-dimensional X-rays, CBCT shows the entire jaw, teeth and surrounding structures in three dimensions — with exceptional detail and comparatively low radiation exposure.
Three-dimensional imaging is particularly valuable for planning implant placement and assessing bone density, evaluating wisdom teeth and their proximity to the nerve canal, detecting FDOK/NICO and silent inflammation in the jawbone, complex root canal treatments, and diagnosing TMJ disorders.
No. A CBCT scan has significantly lower radiation than a conventional CT scan — roughly equivalent to 2-5 standard dental X-rays.
