Beyond Two Dimensions: Navigating Oral Implant Rehabilitation with Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)

By offering high-resolution, low-radiation three-dimensional (3D) pictures of the maxillofacial region, Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) has completely changed the field of oral implant rehabilitation. The significance of CBCT in dental implant rehabilitation is examined in this study, along with its benefits over traditional imaging modalities, various uses in treatment planning, implant placement, and postoperative evaluation, as well as possible future advances. Techniques for acquiring and reconstructing images, anatomical factors, virtual implant planning, guided surgery, and the function of CBCT in assessing bone amount and quality are among the important subjects. Future directions, obstacles, and constraints in the application of CBCT technology are also covered.
