The applications for Cone Beam CT imagery in dentistry are well documented.

We want our referrers to be able to make the most of the scans undertaken, and wish to have a close working relationship in order to tailor the service to their needs.

The viewing software allows significant image manipulation. Measurements can be taken in any dimensions, virtual implants can be placed and nerves can be traced. This is very simple to do once shown how to do it. We can also do this on the referrer's behalf if instructed to do so.

The viewing software can be a very useful tool to demonstrate the treatment to patients.

• To understand the different applications of CBCT scans in dentistry 
• To see how a CBCT scanner works and the range of views possible
