A Title Describing Your Products
For Patients
A CBCT is a very simple imaging examination that requires no major preparation on your part.
Anything metallic that might interfere with imaging such as earrings, necklaces, piercing, hairpins or eyeglasses should be removed. Our technician may ask you to also remove dentures or other appliances, but it is advisable to bring these along to the appointment as the technician may on occasion want to use them.
Sometimes your referring dentist may instruct you to wear a plastic stent or radiographic guide during the scan. This helps the dentist identify the ideal position of the future dental prosthesis that is being planned for you, in such a case please remember to carry the stent / guide.
Patient Info checklist
Some tips to make your CBCT experience a smooth & hassle free experience
- Please try and arrive 5 minutes before your scheduled appointment time
- Do not forget to get your referral slip (contains important information that your doctor needs to convey to us)
- Take off all metallic objects (jewellery like nose-ring, ear rings, neck chains, etc and hair-pins) in the head and neck region preferably at home itself
CBCT stands for Cone Beam Computed Tomography or Cone Beam CT – a type of Computed Tomography (CT) scan.
A CT or Computed tomography scan is an advanced imaging method utilizing x-rays, which helps doctors to study internal organs / structures of the body without the superimposition of various structures seen on routine x-ray films. It involves imaging the body in fine sections.
- The Imaging technology is different – in regular CT scans numerous rotations have to be made to obtain the image, whereas in CBCT all the required data is obtained in a single rotation.
- X-Ray Radiation exposure to the patient is up 10 times less than a regular (medical) CT scanner.
- CBCT is much faster. A CBCT Scan at our centre takes between 10-40 seconds, while on a regular (medical) CT scanner it takes atleast a few minutes.
- Cheaper, average price of a CBCT scan could be up to 50% less than a regular CT scan.
- When you arrive, our staff will collect the referral note provided by your doctor. The technician will enter your details into the software and tell you about the details of the scan procedure.
- You will then be seated comfortably for the scan within the open machine, your position adjusted and secured. To avoid any movement, your head will be held in place by a plastic chin cup and a Velcro band in the front. This helps in avoiding repeat scans & undue radiation exposure. Once you give the go-ahead the scan will be performed.
- During the scan, a semicircular arm makes one complete 360° rotation around your head. This arm contains the X-ray source and detector. While the arm is rotating, it is capturing multiple images of your head from different angles. These images are then reconstructed by the computer to create a 3D image of your internal anatomy.
- Once the scan is complete, it will be checked for any movements or other problems. If the scan is correct, then it takes approximately 45 minutes to process the scan, transfer it to a CD, generate and print images. You may wait to collect the CD and prints, or come after the stipulated time to collect them. The scan images, once generated, are then sent by email to your doctor.
- It allows your doctor to:
- Visualize internal anatomy that cannot be assessed externally on plain clinical examination at the dental clinic
- Analyze the position and orientation of critical structures like nerves, teeth roots, the sinus and nose
- Assess risk
- Plan treatment and surgery
- Prepare necessary surgical guides / aids
CBCT is absolutely painless and the entire procedure takes only a few minutes, whereas the actual scan itself takes less than a minute.
No . Apart from the points mentioned in preparation for the scan, there are no other special instructions to be followed

The Cone Beam CT uses an amorphous silicon flat panel detector and cone beam technology to get volumetric images with vastly lower radiation dose and higher precision when compared to traditional 16 or 64 slice CT scanners. This new age device provides a full range of diagnostic views including complete scans of all oral and maxillofacial structures, paranasal sinuses and airways. Acquired information gives the treating doctor more thorough structural knowledge which enables highly accurate diagnosis and treatment planning and can help create more predictable outcomes. Vastly lower radiation dose (20-100 times) means that the CBCT scan can be done safely without any undue concern for radiation side-effects.
Computed tomography has been expanding rapidly and CBCT is the latest, most advanced generation of CTs. Cone Beam technology uses a cone shaped X-Ray beam that projects onto an amorphous silicon flat panel detector. The scanner rotates 360 degrees around a patient’s head in a matter of seconds with the patient in a comfortable sitting position. The single turn motion image capture used in Cone Beam CT is quicker than conventional spiral motion, and can be accomplished at a lower radiation dose as a result of no overlap of slices. Cone beam CT provides views that can be presented as 3D volumes or 2D images for diagnosis and advanced planning
Very Low Radiation Dose: The CBCT gives a radiation dose of about 36~Sv as compared to 2000~Sv to 4000~Sv of multi-slice CT.
Higher Precision and Accuracy: The CBCT provides images of superb clarity and great precision. What you see is real and the measurements are very accurate.
Dedicated Scanner: The CBCT is a dedicated scanner designed specifically for dental and maxillofacial imaging.
Dedicated Software: The dedicated user-friendly software simplifies treatment planning and provides necessary perspective in many cases. True-size, distortion free, high-resolution images are reconstructed rapidly, tailor-made for the needs of dental and maxillofacial professionals.
Eliminates Need for Multiple Exposures: The CBCT provides all information in one scan including panoramic and cephalometric images and 3D volumes, virtually eliminating the need for conventional orthodontic X-Rays. Patients can be comforted by the knowledge that the doctor will have all the information needed to evaluate their problem and plan treatment.
With volume rendering, clinicians can easily manipulate, enhance, and slice the volume in any orientation or shape for quick and effective diagnosis. Volume rendering is an effective tool for surveying skeletal morphology, dentition, and is a powerful patient demonstration / communication method.
Clinicians who desire a more in-depth investigation of internal structures can examine slice by slice and sweep through the entire volume using section views. This enables more precise evaluation/measurement of anatomical structures such as assessing the number/shape of root canals, TMJ characteristics, alveolar ridge thickness &: anatomy, airway/sinus, bone density/ defects, Hounsfield unit calibration, nerve pathway ID &: marking etc.
Tru-Pan delivers anatomically accurate and precise panoramic images with optimal clarity and detail. Tru- Pan’s advanced reconstruction of unique anatomic landmarks automatically creates an individualized focal trough specific to each patient. The automatic custom focal arch detection works in conjunction with the patient’s 3-D data to quickly and efficiently extrapolate “true” and precise panoramic views. There is no image distortion which allows for true measurements.
This feature gives clinicians the ability to easily and quickly construct and view traditional lateral and AP cephalometric radiographs, take measurements, and utilize several image enhancement features which dramatically increase the viewing options allow easier viewing of landmarks.
Clinicians can perform image based planning for restorative implants or orthodontic mini screws using the implant planning feature. This feature enables precise implant planning through simultaneous buccal, lingual, vertical, and density visualization. The tool offers straightforward analysis within brand of implant.
The CBCT Scan generates a limitless number of x-rays from one scan. Linear and angular measurements can be made on any of the acquired images. Standard examples are coronal and sagittal TMJ slices, bitewings, PA’s, maxillary occlusal views, mandibular occlusal views, etc.
