We perform two types of study with the Carestream CS 8200 3D Advance platform. Your dentist will indicate which one fits your case; here we explain the difference.
A flat 2D image. Includes extraoral X-rays and cephalometric tracings.
Ideal for: general check-ups, orthodontics (cephalometry), routine follow-up.
A complete three-dimensional model that can be analyzed slice by slice. HD mode 75 µm and standard mode 150 µm.
Ideal for: implants, complex endodontics, oral surgery, airway and TMJ.
| Dental X-ray | CBCT scan | |
|---|---|---|
| Image type | 2D, flat | 3D, volumetric |
| Resolution | High for general structures | Down to 75 µm (HD mode) |
| Dose | Low | Low; depends on field of view and resolution |
| Capture time | Seconds | 3 to 20 seconds |
| Typical uses | Orthodontics, general check-up | Implants, endodontics, surgery, TMJ, airway |
