Results for tag: "Dental Cone Beam Computed Tomography"

Dental Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a specialized type of medical imaging technique that falls under the broader category of radiology, particularly focusing on dental and maxillofacial uses. Unlike traditional computed tomography (CT) which emits a fan-shaped beam, CBCT utilizes a cone-shaped beam of radiation that rotates around the patient. This technology is capable of producing three-dimensional images, providing detailed visualization of the teeth, oral and nasal cavities, and the jaw structures. It serves an essential role in treatment planning and is widely used in orthodontics, implantology, and oral surgery. CBCT is preferred over conventional X-rays for its enhanced ability to capture bone structures and pathology with high precision, while often using a lower dose of radiation compared to standard CT scans. It has become an integral part of dental diagnostics, allowing for more accurate assessments and helping practitioners to better tailor their therapeutic approaches to the specific needs of their patients. Several companies operate in the Dental Cone Beam Computed Tomography market, offering a range of CBCT systems catering to diverse dental imaging needs. Notable companies in this market include Planmeca Oy, Dentsply Sirona, Carestream Health, Vatech Co. Ltd., and Morita Group. These enterprises are involved in the development, manufacturing, and distribution of CBCT devices, along with providing after-sales services and software solutions to enhance the utility of the images produced by their systems.
