Cone Beam technology has brought the power of 3D imaging in to the oral and maxillofacial surgery office. CT-Guided dental implant planning and surgical techniques are far superior to traditional 2-dimensional imaging and "freehand" placement of dental implants. This results in a less invasive surgical procedure, awareness of anatomical challenges ahead of time, increased precision of implant placement, reduced surgical time, and enhanced patient recovery. The integration of CAD/CAM imaging with cone beam CT has further advanced technology toward complete digital dentistry. This has led to innovations in dental implant planning, dental implant restoration, airway analysis, temporomandibular joint evaluation, orthognathic surgery planning, as well as the digital fabrication of surgical splints and functional appliances for obstructive sleep apnea and bruxism.
