Neoplasms in the nasopharynx and oropharynx can cause narrowing and/or asymmetry of the airway space. The most common pathological conditions that can affect the airway in children are enlarged pharyngeal and palatine tonsils.
An airway analysis may be performed prior to orthognathic surgery. Volumetric measurements can be taken for the patient with surgical treatment options considered according to the severity in the position of the jaws.
Orthodontics:
CBCT in orthodontics provides clear and accurate images for dental brace placement. Orthodontic CBCT provides accurate tooth relationships and assessment of dental asymmetry.
Impacted Teeth:
A CBCT scan can highlighted whether a patient has impacted teeth and accurately determine their precise position in relation to adjacent teeth and associated roots, and proximity to important structures such as nerve canals, sinus walls and cortical borders.
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ
Temporomandibular joint CBCT (TMJ CBCT) is not only cost-effective but allows complete TMJ analysis and diagnosis of multiple TMJ conditions, providing clear images of joint spacing and any dysfunction of condyles and surrounding structures.
