Prior to CBCT technology, medical computed tomography (CT)
scanners were used in hospitals for dental applications. However, the demand
for CBCT scanners has shifted due to the superior imaging quality and lower
radiation doses it delivers. Traditionally, CBCT technology has been a
diagnostic tool for evaluating a patient’s jaw bones to place dental implants
and perform other oral surgeries. However, the capabilities of CBCT scanners
have quickly expanded beyond the application of three-dimensional bone
reconstruction and have incorporated advanced panoramic and cephalometric
imaging capabilities. Dentists have the option of installing CBCT scanner
systems into their practices by either upgrading an existing digital panoramic
or pan/ceph system, or by installing a new system entirely.
CBCT scanner products can be divided into systems with
small, medium and large field-of-views (FOVs). A small FOV (from 4 cm by 5 cm
to 8 cm by 8 cm) CBCT scanner is typically used by general practitioners (GPs)
in smaller sized dental practices that perform some dental implant procedures.
Approximately 85% of small FOV CBCT scanners are offered as two-in-one
combination units that can perform both panoramic/cephalometric X-ray
procedures and CBCT scans.
The remaining 15% of small FOV CBCT scanners do not offer
this combination and only produce 3D images. However, this percentage is
quickly going down as the demand for combo machines is much higher. Medium FOV
(from 8 cm by 14 cm to 15 cm by 15 cm) CBCT scanners are primarily used by
bigger dental clinics specializing in implantology and other oral surgery
procedures. Approximately 70% of medium FOV CBCT scanners are solely dedicated
to CBCT scans, and the remaining 30% of medium FOV devices are a combination of
panoramic/cephalometric X-ray images and CBCT scans.
Medium FOV CBCT scanners can also be used with dental
implant surgical guide imaging software that is used by dentists for placing dental
implants. Large FOV (from 16 cm by 18 cm to 19 cm by 24 cm) CBCT scanners only
perform dedicated CBCT scans and are used almost exclusively in imaging centers
and hospitals that exclusively perform dental implant treatments and other oral
surgeries.
Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanners for dental use
have been present since the early 2000s. CBCT scanners operate with an X-ray
scanner that is mounted on a rotating arm that circles a patient’s head. As it
rotates, the scanner uses a cone shaped X-ray beam that is projected through
the patient and onto the imaging sensor. This enables a three-dimensional
reconstruction of the bone structure of the patient’s face and jaw.
