Cone Beam 3D CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) X-rays utilize a cone-shaped beam of ionizing radiation to generate comprehensive 3D images of the body's internal structures, including bones, teeth, soft tissues, and nerves. This advanced technique contrasts with traditional dental X-rays, which only provide a 2D snapshot of the mouth. CBCT scans offer a detailed, three-dimensional view of the head and neck area, yielding more in-depth information for clinicians and specialists in their diagnosis, treatment planning, and ongoing monitoring.

The technology behind Cone Beam 3D X-rays involves a large detector and a rotating arm that captures images from various angles. These images are then compiled to create a highly detailed 3D representation. The resulting images are typically examined on a computer monitor and can be manipulated to closely inspect specific structures from any perspective, offering a more precise and thorough visualization of the target area.
