CT Dental Scan

INTRODUCTION

Due to its accuracy and sensitivity, Computed Tomography is increasingly employed in the planning of Dental Implant Surgery. The latest generation of spiral CT scanners can image the complete mandible (lower jaw) or maxilla (upper jaw) within minutes, delivering high resolution images. The images are then processed by the dental scan software, a specially developed computerized reformatting program that obtains true cross-sections of the mouth.

The main use of CT dental scan is in the pre-operative planning of implants. CT dental scans assist the dental surgeon in deciding if surgery is feasible and then accurately planning the size and position of the implants. The highly detailed diagnostic information available from a CT dental scan greatly improves surgical outcomes.
