What is 3D Radiograph?
A 3D radiograph in dentistry, often obtained using Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), is an advanced imaging technique that produces three-dimensional views of the teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures. Unlike traditional 2D X-rays, CBCT scans provide detailed, accurate images from multiple angles, allowing dentists to assess bone quality, nerve locations, tooth positions, and complex anatomical structures with high precision. 3D radiographs are especially useful for planning dental implants, evaluating jaw disorders, detecting hidden pathology, and guiding surgical procedures, offering greater diagnostic accuracy and treatment predictability.
