Technology is constantly advancing and improving our lives in many ways. This also applies to the field of dentistry and dental specialties like Endodontics. New advancements in technology are helping modern endodontists save teeth in ways that weren’t possible a few years ago. One such advancement is Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT).
Let’s see how it enhances the treatment plans and outcomes in various ways:
- Root canal treatment is known as the most painful procedure but the real reason is behind the complexity it holds which makes it difficult for Endodontists to negotiate it most of the time it is also used as an exploratory procedure for phantom pain and unexplained swelling.
- However, the emergence of CBCT has irradiated its use as an exploratory procedure because it makes the diagnosis very feasible for the clinician as it provides a three-dimensional image of the jaw and every tooth.
- Root canal is said to be successful only if the Endodontist can find every canal and thoroughly clean them which becomes very easy with the help of a 3D image of the internal tooth structure.
- CBCT is a free device that can diagnose conditions without surgery and has saved patients from unnecessary treatment with much less radiation than normal CT scans.
- A three-dimensionally sealed root canal can last as long as a natural tooth without complications.
