With CBCT, dental practitioners can identify conditions that may not be visible on OPG, such as bone defects, cysts, and tumours. This level of detail allows for more precise treatment planning, resulting in better outcomes for patients. Taking an OPG x-ray can be beneficial for a bunch of different reasons. Some of those include detecting oral infections & abscesses, gum disease, oral fractures, dislocated jaws & other jaw issues, hidden decay & cavities, impacted teeth & wisdom teeth development, dental implant planning & MANY more. CBCT provides the dentist with an accurate picture of the location of the maxillary sinus. Therefore, the surgeon can select the right implant length to prevent implant penetration into the sinus. The cone beam CT scan allows the dentist to select the right size of the implant for optimal stability and integration.
