Dental X-ray (3D image)

A 3D dental X-ray (cone-beam computed tomography, CBCT) is an advanced diagnostic method that provides a detailed three-dimensional image of the teeth, bone tissue, and surrounding anatomical structures. This type of examination is especially important in complex dental cases that require a high level of diagnostic accuracy.

When is a 3D dental X-ray required?

• Before dental implant placement to assess the condition and volume of bone tissue.
• In complex root canal treatment cases.
• For diagnosing cysts, granulomas, tumors, and hidden inflammatory processes.
• When planning orthodontic treatment and bite correction.
• To detect root fractures and other hidden dental injuries.

How is the procedure performed?

1. Preparation – the patient is provided with a protective apron and asked to remain still.
2. Scanning – the device takes a series of images to create a three-dimensional model.
3. Image analysis – the dentist examines the scans and identifies possible pathologies.
4. Recommendations – based on the obtained data, an individual treatment plan is developed.

Main advantages of 3D dental X-ray imaging

• High image resolution, allowing detection of hidden problems.
• Safety – significantly lower radiation dose compared to conventional CT.
• Accurate planning of complex dental procedures.
• Fast results – a 3D model is generated within minutes.
• Maximum diagnostic value for treatment planning.

The examination is performed in leading dental clinics in Belarus using modern digital CBCT scanners. High diagnostic accuracy, minimal radiation exposure, and professional image interpretation allow early detection of pathologies and selection of optimal treatment strategies.
