It is a type of X-ray equipment that is used when dental or facial x-rays are not enough to correctly visualize the desired area. This technology allows to produce three-dimensional images of the teeth, soft tissues and the trajectory of the patient's nerves and bones. So, this is a highly qualified radiological exploration to make a good diagnosis.
Dental computed tomography allows to produce detailed images, necessary to be able to explore the area and to be able to plan treatment through images of high resolution and contrast.
Cephalometry is a very useful x-ray technique in odontology and especially in orthodontics, since it allows obtaining measurements of the skull and the dental bases that are necessary to establish the most significant anatomical points and help in the diagnosis and treatment of malocclusions.
