CBCT analysis and/or interpretation with a small field of view is needed to evaluate specific regions of interest, such as a single tooth or localized area. This type of analysis is particularly useful for diagnosing conditions such as root fractures, periapical lesions, or implant site assessment. For example, a patient undergoing endodontic treatment may require CBCT analysis to assess the extent of a root fracture or periapical pathology.
The primary benefit of CBCT analysis with a small field of view is its ability to provide highly detailed 3D images of specific regions, enabling targeted interventions. By focusing on a limited area, clinicians can reduce radiation exposure while obtaining precise measurements of the anatomy. This level of precision improves the likelihood of successful outcomes, particularly in cases of endodontic or implant treatment. Additionally, CBCT analysis can help monitor the progress of treatment over time, ensuring that the condition is adequately controlled.
CBCT analysis with a small field of view is essential for diagnosing localized conditions like root fractures, periapical lesions, or implant site assessments in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Surgeons should use this analysis to evaluate bone quality, root morphology, and periapical pathology, ensuring safe and effective surgical or endodontic procedures. This analysis also supports procedures like apicoectomy or implant placement by providing precise anatomical details.
