CBCT, or Cone Beam Computed Tomography, captures a series of X-ray images in just a few seconds as the machine rotates around a persons head. Because the process is fast and uses a focused cone of X-rays, it exposes patients to several hundred times lower doses of X-rays as ordinary medical CT-scans. And they far more detailed results than ordinary, two-dimensional X-rays, allowing endodontists to view teeth at different depths and from multiple angles while taking detailed measurements. CBCT can reveal fractures or unusual root canal structures that are hidden by other parts of a tooth on two-dimensional X-rays.
As of 2017, only 55% of endodontist offices used 3-D CBCT . Those like New Wave Endodontics who do use the technology typically find they are able to make better diagnoses, often resulting in fewer or more successful treatments.
