Understanding CT Scanning in Dentistry
A CT (Computed Tomography) scanner is a specialized type of X-ray machine that produces comprehensive, three-dimensional images of your oral structures. Unlike traditional X-rays, CT scans offer a much higher level of detail and clarity, providing invaluable information for diagnosis and treatment planning. This technology is particularly useful for implant placement, evaluating jawbone health, diagnosing pathology and more complex dental procedures.
