It is about <\/span><b>what information we need<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b>at what level of detail<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b>in which anatomical region<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><b>at what operational and radiological cost<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. If we choose correctly, we gain diagnostic predictability and 3D planning without adding unnecessary complexity\u2014or exposure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And here is the important part: CBCT stands out when the objective is <\/span><b>dentomaxillofacial<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and the clinical decision depends on millimetres (bone, teeth, roots and their relationship with anatomical structures). CT (medical CT) usually comes into play when we need a <\/span><b>broader anatomical scope<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, hospital protocols or an evaluation that goes beyond the dental setting.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What is CBCT and how does it differ from CT in dentistry?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><b>CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a tomographic technique that uses a <\/span><b>cone-shaped beam<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and reconstructs a 3D volume that is particularly useful for dentomaxillofacial structures. <\/span><b>CT<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (in its usual medical use) employs <\/span><b>fan-beam<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> technology and protocols designed for a broader anatomical spectrum.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In dentistry, the practical difference is usually this: CBCT prioritises <\/span><b>spatial resolution and control of the field of view (FOV)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the area of interest, while CT tends to prioritise <\/span><b>coverage and contrast<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> according to the medical indication.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>CBCT vs CT: key differences every dental clinic should know<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>Beam type, image acquisition and reconstruction<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>CBCT:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> cone beam and detector, volume acquisition and 3D reconstruction focused on the maxillofacial region.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>CT:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> fan-beam technology with slice-by-slice reconstruction, commonly used in medical radiology settings.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In daily practice, this means that CBCT generally provides a volume better suited to teeth and jaws, with a more direct workflow towards dental planning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Radiation, field of view (FOV) and resolution<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are two rules we always apply:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>The FOV should be adjusted to the clinical question.<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The further you go beyond the necessary area, the more exposure and diagnostic noise you introduce. In dentistry, using a larger FOV \u201cjust in case\u201d is often a mistake.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Lower radiation does not mean indiscriminate use.<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The indication is what matters. The aim is to optimise the minimum necessary to answer the clinical question safely.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In technical terms, CBCT usually offers <\/span><b>spatial resolution<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that is highly useful in dentomaxillofacial applications. CT generally performs better in situations where the indication requires medical protocols and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">greater coverage<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Patient positioning, acquisition time and operating cost<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is significant variation depending on the equipment and protocol, but operationally three patterns tend to emerge:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CBCT is easily integrated into the dental workflow (scheduling, planning and internal referral).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CT usually depends on a radiology or hospital pathway and more general protocols.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The real total cost is not only the scan itself; it also includes potential repeat scans due to incorrect indication and time lost through lack of coordination.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>What advantages does CBCT offer over CT in dental practice?<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>Greater precision for dentomaxillofacial structures<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you work in implantology, advanced orthodontics or complex endodontics, you know why: CBCT gives you a 3D assessment that fits dentoalveolar structures particularly well when the clinical question is local and millimetric.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Lower exposure in many scenarios and greater control of the area studied<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In dental settings, comparative evidence tends to show that CBCT may involve a <\/span><b>lower effective dose<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> than medical CT, especially when the FOV is well selected and the protocol is optimised.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, FOV control avoids paying\u2014in exposure and diagnostic noise\u2014for anatomy that is not needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>More useful measurements for clinical planning and communication<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is where we take a strong position: a CBCT should not remain in a viewer. It should become operational data.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When we turn DICOM into part of 3D planning and integrate it with the rest of the records, the conversation changes: we move from looking to deciding. To apply this in implantology and guided surgery, the natural fit is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/nemotec.com\/nemostudio\/en\/productos\/nemoscan\/\"><b>NemoScan<\/b> <\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(CBCT-based planning and guided workflow).<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Uses of CBCT in dentistry according to specialty<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>Orthodontics and aligners<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In orthodontics, CBCT adds value when we need to understand biological limits (roots\/bone) and make safe decisions in complex movements. When we combine it with digital models, the case stops being just an image and becomes a coherent 3D plan, as with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/nemotec.com\/nemostudio\/en\/productos\/nemocast\/\"><b>NemoCast 3D<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Implantology and guided surgery<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In implantology, CBCT is often the logical starting point when planning is prosthetically guided and guide fabrication is required. The real step forward occurs when the workflow is seamless between clinic, planning and laboratory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the clinical team wants to scale complex cases without slowing down production, the most efficient option is to rely on a planning service with online validation. That is why we have our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/nemotec.com\/nemostudio\/en\/centro-de-planificacion\/\"><b>Planning Centre<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Prosthetics, veneers and rehabilitation<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In rehabilitation, the value appears when we unify records: CBCT (DICOM) + intraoral scan (STL\/PLY) + photographs (JPG). This integration reduces uncertainty and avoids blind decisions caused by fragmented data.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Endodontics, TMJ and pathology<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In endodontics, TMJ and pathology, the indication must be especially precise: a clear clinical question, an adjusted FOV and responsible interpretation.
