Seeing Clearly Optimal treatment planning is dependent upon acquiring and analyzing the most accurate and comprehensive information possible for each case. Technological developments in the imaging process have made the treatment planning process as effective as ever, as DICOM, STL, and other files can be viewed in harmony to achieve a thorough understanding of each patient's oral situation. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) units now can provide a variety of images with low doses of radiation. Intraoral imaging systems are smaller, more ergonomic, and more accurate. Impression scanners produce precise 3D renderings of the dentition in just seconds. As the technology continues to improve, patients are likely to increasingly expect-and in some cases demand-that their dentists are using state-of-the-art equipment to assess their oral environment.
Dental examinations account for 21% of all radiological procedures globally-the highest percentage of any procedure.
The Global CBCT Systems Market was worth
$536 million in 2016 and is estimated to reach $1,041 million by 2023.
