IMPORTANT: Aimed at the general public, the Bücco Guide is a general educational guide. Its content presents some of the most common dental practices. However, there are many approaches and philosophies in dentistry and your dentist / specialist will be able to advise you on what he believes to be the most appropriate for your oral health. Do not hesitate to consult a dentist / specialist for more information.

threedimensional adiography

Traditionally, dentists have used two-dimensional X-rays on film to see all or a specific part of a patient’s teeth, intraosseous structures and jaws. Several years ago, the advent of 3D digital radiography made it much easier for specialists to do this, as well as reducing the dose of radiation to which the patient is exposed. Also known as three-dimensional cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging, 3D radiography provides an accurate image of the teeth and bone structures of the patient’s maxillofacial region.

Indications for treatment

  • Ensure an accurate diagnosis;
  • To know the condition of a patient’s teeth;
  • To know the density, shape, quantity and quality of the bones and structures surrounding the procedure site;
  • Locate the dental nerve of the mandible;
  • Detect a variety of oral problems that are invisible to the naked eye or on 2D x-rays;
  • Plan the installation of dental implants;
  • Monitor the development and eruption of adult (permanent) teeth and wisdom teeth;
  • Perform virtual surgery before seeing the patient for real surgery;
  • Make the surgical guide.

Advantages

  • A single 3D radiograph can generate hundreds of images;
  • Image quality is significantly better than traditional 2D radiographs due to the absence of distortion and the high resolution achieved by the powerful data reconstruction software;
  • Radiation exposure is less for the patient (due to the technology used and the ability to take images faster);
  • The images obtained by 3D digital radiography facilitate the understanding of the specialist’s explanations because of their clarity and precision;
  • The quality and quantity of information provided by CFHT on different types of tissues and organs makes implant placement planning more accurate, rapid and predictable;
  • The specialist can obtain images of the impacted teeth, the relationship of the teeth to each other, the quality and volume of the jawbone, maxillary sinuses and lower alveolar nerve, which are not available with traditional 2D radiographs;
  • The specialist knows exactly the ideal position for each implant within a fraction of a millimeter, making surgery easier and more accurate than ever before;
  • Damage to the structures surrounding the implants (remaining teeth, lower alveolar nerve and maxillary sinus) can be minimized;
  • The use of chemicals required for X-ray film processing is eliminated;
  • 3D digital radiography can prevent more invasive treatments and additional costs through early detection of various problems.

Disadvantages

  • More expensive than 2D radiography.

Risks and consequences of not treating

  • Cavities invisible to the naked eye that form between two teeth;
  • Formation of cavities under a filling;
  • Can’t see if a cavity has reached the nerve of the tooth;
  • Periapical abscess or cyst in the jaw bone undetected.

Cost

  • Varies depending on the type of examination to be performed and the type and number of radiographs required;
  • No cost associated with taking x-rays during examinations and cleanings since they are an indispensable complement to these examinations.

Restrictions

  • Pregnant women;
  • Patients undergoing intensive radiotherapy treatment.

Alternative solutions

  • Take 2D X-rays;
  • Space x-rays every two years rather than annually if the patient does not have a high incidence of decay.
