CBCT is a compact, faster and safer version of the regular CT. Through the use of a cone shaped X-Ray beam that rotates 360degrees around the patient head similar to panoramic exposure. It allows you to understand the hidden aspects of your case , hence provide you with a  confident diagnosis and treatment plan ,increasing the success rate of your treatment or surgery and decreasing the complications.

Advantages of CBCT:

  1. Low radiation dose : Between 50 mSv and 1000 mSv while conventional CT reported at 2000mSv for routine head examinations . In VeraViewpocs R100 there is a Dose Reduction feature which optimize the intensity of the x-rays and lowers the exposure for easily penetrated tissues.
  2. High resolution and clarity : CBCT provide a very clear ,detailed and accurate image. At ISCAN the images are of 125 µm voxel , thus provide a super-high resolution .
  3. Variable field of view (FOV) : At ISCAN we have  a wide FOV range that enables the doctors to select specific area required for each case starting from only a segement (2-3 teeth ) to both arches with the maxillary sinus included  and thus reduce the cost and amount of exposure to the patient.
  4. High Speed : the scanning process takes from 9-20 seconds
  5. Low cost : The cost of CBCT scans almost 50% less than regular CT

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.
Cone Beam CT represents the latest generation in medical imaging scanning machines ascending from conventional x-ray, to panoramic and cephalometric x-ray, to medical spiral CT. Cone Beam CT scanners have been used for diagnosis and treatment planning in diverse dental specialties such as maxillofacial surgery, implantology and oral pathology.

WHY CBCT?

• X-Ray Radiation exposure to the patient is up 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, tempromandibular joint assemsnt , sinus assessment and dental implant placment.


How is the Procedure carried out ?
 
A semi circular arm make 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 satbilizer. This helps in avoiding repeat scans and unneeded radiation exposure.

Is it Painful ?

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

Is there any special preparation for the scan?

-    No special preparation is needed.
-    You will be asked to remove anything metal such as earrings, necklaces, hairpins or eye glasses.
-    Dentures will be removed during scanning unless needed.
-    Incase a surgical guides is required for dental implants , a scanning appliance is to be provided by your dentist.

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, unless report is required , patient is asked pick it up in 6 hours also we have the option to deliver it to the doctor’s clinic.
