Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a specialised dental scan that captures the mouth and jaws in three dimensions. Unlike a flat 2D X-ray, it builds cross-sectional images that show the precise position and shape of teeth, roots, the jawbone, nerve canals and the sinuses. This detailed view is particularly valuable for planning dental implants — assessing bone height and width and avoiding important structures — and for surgical extractions, complex…
