CBCT Software in oral surgery and implantolog

Cone Beam Computer Tomography (CBCT) is a relatively new type of computer tomography which has been used since 1996. Its basic characteristics include: lower radiation level, cheaper technology and exquisitely good possibility for its application in dentistry. Cone Beam Computer Tomography is a medical imaging technique promoted as a new concept of diagnostic radiology, but with the advancement of technical features of medical devices and accompanying software support, today, it is the gold standard when it comes to diagnostic procedure methods for the craniofacial region for both dentistry and otolaryngology.

Our presentation explains the possibillity of CBCT software, We will present some interesting cases from oral surgery and implantology (diagnostics, therapy following, implantology planing) where the use of CBCT is of vital importance from the diagnostic standpoint.

Furthermore, on concrete practical cases, we will present the role of CBCT software within computer-assisted dentistry, i.e. computer-aided navigation in dental implantology and 3D printing of implant surgical guides, our expirience, advantages and disadvanteges of these procedures.
