CBCT - TMJ - Myotherapy
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) imaging serves as an essential diagnostic and planning tool for both TMJ disorders and Orofacial Myotherapy. CBCT takes treatment beyond simple 2D imaging by providing high-resolution, sub-millimeter 3D accuracy to visualize complex anatomy.
TMJ Disorders addressed by CBCT
Traditional 2D X-rays leave TMJ specialists guessing due to skull bone overlap. Cone3D Mumbai utilizes the Carestream CS 8200 3D Advanced to eliminate the guesswork. Its 0.075mm resolution maps bone erosion and joint asymmetry, helping doctors plan targeted therapies.
Combating Artifact Distortion
Metal artifacts from crowns and fillings often ruin 3D endodontic scans. Cone3D Mumbai solves this with the Carestream CS 8200 3D Advanced. Its CS MAR technology filters out streaks and noise at 0.075mm resolution, giving endodontists clear views of hidden canals and fractures without retakes.
Radiation Myths
A dental CBCT scan at Cone3D Mumbai is remarkably safe. Using our AERB-certified Carestream CS 8200 3D Advanced system, its Low Dose Mode reduces radiation by up to 99% compared to hospital CTs—offering 0.075mm precision with exposure similar to just a few days of natural background radiation.
DICOM in Dental Imaging
With India’s Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023, dental imaging soft files like DICOM, CBCT, and OPG scans are now classified as protected digital personal data. The blog outlines the need for consent, data access controls, and secure file-sharing channels
