CBCT Scanning Case Studies
Case studies that outline the benefit of a CBCT scan
Buried Root Case Study
Mr GD from Swansea (West Wales). Mr D was a self-referral and not aware of the buried canine in his upper left jaw. He came to see us following the breakage of his upper right first premolar, having read about implants on our website.
Lingual Shelf Case Study - Potential Damage to Lingual Artery
Mr AA from Newport (South Wales). From the 2-D image (DPT view) it appears that there is plenty of bone height above the inferior dental nerve to allow safe implant placement.
Endodontic Case Study - Endodontic Failure
Mrs AE from Usk (Monmouthshire). A two dimensional image of this tooth would not show the true extent of the roof-fracture. We would need to anaesthetise the patient and explore the nature....
Maxillary Sinus Case Study
Mr NM from Crickhowelll (Powys). The 2D OPT image for Mr M helped us realise the extent of the maxillary sinuses and the resulting lack of bone height in the molar regions. To avoid sinus augmentation we decided to place six implants and angle...
Immediate Replacement Case Study
Mrs LS from Abergavenny (Monmouthshire). With a two dimensional image, there is no way of knowing whether the buccal roots of this molar tooth are seperate from the platal root. It is therefore impossible to...
Thin Ridge - Knife Edge Ridge
Mr MC from hereford. The 2D DPT image suggests that there is sufficient bone height in the maxilla to place six implants to support a full arch fixed restoration...
Inferior Dental Nerve - Potential Nerve Damage
Mrs KF from Chepstow (Gwent). A 2D image will suggest bone loss around the roots of this tooth, and give us some indication of whether the roots are straight, hooked or fused.
