Application of Cone-beam CT in the Office Setting

The decision to incorporate cone-beam CT (CBCT) into a dental practice is one that requires serious consideration and careful planning. In the early days of the technology, fewer sources of information existed and a community of users often shared ideas and prompted the advancement of the products. Office-based CBCT has advanced significantly since that time. It has often been described as the “gold standard” for imaging the oral and maxillofacial area and will become a part of the everyday life of most practices in the coming decades.
