The main reasons are:
- Allows the dentist or dental specialist to see the whole mouth in great detail, not just an area of interest and not a single area of interest of a classical dental radiograph.
- It creates hundreds of images from a single scan
- Minimal exposure to radiation
- High image quality
- Evaluates bone quality
- Short scan time
- A 3D dental x-ray (Dental Scan or CBCT) can develop a digital 3D image of the mouth and cranium
- Usage in cosmetic dentistry, orthodontics, implantology, endodontics, oral pathology and other dental specialties
