• Maxillofacial surgery planning

Ultra-low radiation dose with scan times of 9-20 seconds.

Comprehensive treatment planning using advanced software for:

• Implant simulation
• Surgical guide design
• Precise diagnostic assessments
• Nerve tracing

European-made 3D printing for:

• Surgical guides
• Customized abutments
• Temporary prosthetic components
• Dentures
• Orthodontic aligners

What is CBCT?

CBCT stands for Cone Beam Computed Tomography or Cone Beam CT. Cone beam CT is a tomographic scanning technology that can scan and acquire a specified volume of the patient's head and generate a 3D data set at much lower radiation doses than their medical CT counterparts.

Why CBCT?

• X-Ray Radiation exposure to the patient is up to 10 times less than a regular CT scanner.
• Much faster scan time. Scan on a CBCT takes between 9-20 seconds.
• Cheaper, average price of a CBCT scan could be up to 50% less than a regular Medical CT scan.
• CBCT scans are noninvasive, and can eliminate the need for exploratory surgery in some cases.
• To avoid surgical surprise, accurate treatment planning and help avoid complication and hence faster healing period and excellent results.
• Diagnosis of dental and maxillofacial pathology, trauma, impacted teeth, endodontics, temporomandibular joint assessment, sinus assessment and dental implant placement.

How is the Procedure carried out?

A semi-circular arm makes one complete 360° rotation around your head. To avoid any movement, your head will be held in place by a biting block and a head stabilizer.

Is it Painful?

CBCT is absolutely painless and the entire procedure takes only a few seconds.

Appointment:

No appointment is required. At ISCAN we have a fast processing flow of patients in an elegant relaxing atmosphere. Waiting time maximum 10-15 minutes.

Advantages of CBCT:

1. Low radiation dose: Between 50 mSv and 1000 mSv while conventional CT reported at 2000mSv for routine head examinations.
2. High resolution and clarity: CBCT provides very clear, detailed and accurate images. At ISCAN the images are of 125 µm voxel, providing super-high resolution.
3. Variable field of view (FOV): At ISCAN we have a wide FOV range that enables doctors to select specific area required for each case.
4. High Speed: The scanning process takes from 9-20 seconds.
5. Low cost: The cost of CBCT scans is almost 50% less than regular CT.

Services:

• Oral surgery
• Oral lesions/tumors
• Impacted Teeth
• Nerve Tracing
• Implant planning, simulation
• Cephalometric Analysis
• TMJ analysis
• Periodontal disease
• Endodontic / working length / root fracture

CBCT

Each case requires a CBCT. Implant surgical guides using Cone Beam Computed Tomography is the most advanced process of predictably planning dental implant placement.

Model Scanning

We use the highest category and most up to date lab scanners to ensure the accuracy, predictability and precision of our iGuides.

• Accuracy that is Less than 10um.
• Texture scanning.
• Precision

Planning

A prosthetic driven implant placement will make your prosthetic step very easy. You can either work with our team of dentists to create the plan or plan your own cases on your implant planning software.

Printing

We invested in the latest technology in 3D printing. Our printer will allow us to offer you a range of products including:

• Surgical guides
• Customized abutments
• Temporary prosthetic components
• Dentures
• Orthodontic aligners

Why iGuide?

• All in one place starting from CBCT to 3D printing.
• Your iGuide will be accompanied by a sleeve-less surgical kit.
• Shorter operation time.
• Eliminate guess work.
• Avoid unnecessary procedures and expenses.
