CBCT Planning for All-on-4 Implants3D Imaging for Implant Diagnostics
- Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) provides 3D imaging of the jaw, teeth, sinuses, nerves, and surrounding structures for All-on-4 and other implant planning, essential for safe and precise implant planning.
Why Does CBCT Matter for Implant Planning?
CBCT matters because it replaces an approximate 2D panoramic view with a full 3D volume, letting the surgical team measure bone precisely, map nerve canal position exactly, and simulate the implant trajectory in advance rather than estimating it during surgery. Radiation dose is somewhat higher than a standard 2D scan, and the exact dose depends on the scanner and field of view used.
| Feature | 2D OPG | 3D CBCT |
|---|---|---|
| Imaging plane | Single (panoramic) | Full 3D volume |
| Bone measurement | Approximate | Precise (±0.1mm) |
| Nerve canal visibility | Limited | Exact position mapped |
| Sinus floor visibility | Approximate | Exact height measured |
| Implant trajectory planning | Not possible | Full 3D simulation |
| Radiation dose | Lower | Higher (varies by scanner/field of view) |
| Cost in the UK | £60–£40,000-£55,000 | £40,000-£55,000 |
