Why take ConeBeam film?

When intervening to treat or diagnose oral diseases, the step of taking a film is indispensable. Currently, there are many types of films used for diagnosis and treatment purposes, but with the advancement of science and technology, taking ConeBeam film helps doctors have more accurate information, minimizing complications. for the intervention.

ConeBeam CT film (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) is the most modern X-ray system today with the help of computers and specialized software, thereby giving clear 3-dimensional images, supporting doctors. The doctor knows the exact width and depth of the bone. In particular, taking ConeBeam film also clearly shows the correlation between the lower teeth and the nerves, the upper teeth with the maxillary sinuses, and examines the lesions deep inside.
Conebeam film is a very important step to evaluate the condition of teeth and bones in the oral cavity, especially in the case of dental implants, the step of taking a film is mandatory.
Some indications for taking ConeBeam film include:
Other dental X-ray films cannot fully and accurately survey the medical condition to make diagnosis as well as treatment. Cases of tooth loss need to be implanted to evaluate the shape of the jaw bone structure, the associated maxillary sinus disease... From there, it helps the doctor diagnose and give an accurate treatment plan. In the case of wisdom teeth extraction, teeth erupting are complicated. Indication of ConeBeam film when suspected maxillofacial pathology such as tumor, thereby helping to diagnose the condition.

ConeBeam Computed Tomography (CBCT) film, also known as cone-beam computed tomography film, the film will show the treating doctor three-dimensional spatial images of bones and teeth with high accuracy, higher than the two-dimensional image information from traditional radiographic techniques. Therefore, taking ConeBeam film is very important in some cases, because X-ray films for 2D images are often difficult to give an accurate diagnosis, but only have diagnostic value, making it difficult for doctor.
ConeBeam film because it has high value in treatment as follows:
It is the best measure to support intra-oral surgery such as wisdom tooth extraction, to help locate the extraction so as not to touch the nerves. period, avoid complications. This method can also be used to rule out some cases of wisdom teeth that are too close to the nerve. Support for dental implants. In the absence of ConeBeam film to support, the selection of implant type is based on prediction through measuring bone width according to clinical examination method or choosing the type with the smallest diameter to be safe for implantation. However, such implants will not have a long life and the risk of placing nerve insertions. ConeBeam film can help detect early and accurately diagnose diseases of the maxillofacial region such as tumors, temporomandibular joint disorders and pathologies of the maxillary sinuses. Thus, taking a film is a method of reconstructing the maxillofacial area so that the doctor can see the correlation of the components, through which the diagnosis is more accurate, the treatment helps to reduce the risk of complications.

To ensure the best coneBeam film is done, there are a few things to keep in mind:
Inform the doctor about the status of dentures or metal in the mouth or not. Some removable metal items need to be removed before taking pictures, such as earrings, glasses, prosthetic jaws, hearing aids, etc. to limit diffraction during image creation. ConeBeam imaging technique has the advantage of reducing the amount of radiation up to 10 to 17 times compared with conventional film, smaller than the amount of rays received from the outside environment, so it is very safe to take pictures. However, in case you are pregnant or suspect that you are pregnant, you still need to notify your doctor to be assigned a full protective scan with a lead vest. Shooting time only takes a few seconds, so it is necessary to follow the instructions of the technician to produce the best image. ConeBeam film is a modern dental X-ray method, it provides the doctor with the clearest view of the medical condition or the relationship with the organs around the mouth. In certain cases, taking ConeBeam film is essential for optimal intervention and limiting complications.
