Why cone beam dental CT scan and what are the benefits?
All over the world cone beam scans are becoming the standard of care. Indeed, in more and more countries, dental CT scans are a legal obligation prior to dental implant placing. In some countries the surgeons’ insurance companies insist on CT for accuracy and safety; an obligation that has seen patients’ claims fall by more than 200%.
The amount of information given in a single CBCT scan is amazing: about 500% more than conventional scanning methods, bringing new standards to the profession.
