This equipment is essential to be able to make a proper Diagnosis for Dental Revisions (a process in which potentially toxic material and teeth are removed and replaced with biocompatible materials specific to each patient's individual immune system).

CBCT Scans provide a 3D dental image, while traditional X-rays are only a 2-dimensional picture of the mouth. This means that with traditional X-rays alone, it is very difficult to diagnose non-painful lesions like dental abscesses that are within the jaw bone.

Here are some examples of photos of bone lesions
