The Dentistry Service of Hospital da Luz Torres de Lisboa has now available a new equipment for dental CT scanning : the cone beam computed tomography. Also known as CBCT (Cone beam computed tomography), this equipment combines X-rays with computer technology, capturing detailed three-dimensional images (3D), of high resolution, that allow to identify specific anatomic details non-visible in conventional exams (2D). Besides allowing to produce a differential diagnosis, the CBCT technology emits a low level of radiation. The dental CT scan with CBCT equipment may be indicated in clinical situations such as: Dental planning and treatment; Orthodontics and dental implants; Maxillofacial surgery and traumatology; Periodontology treatments (supporting tissues and bones), endodontics, occlusion and odontopediatrics. Carry out your dental exams in the comfort of a hospital environment and all the safety of an experienced and highly differentiated medical and technical team. The scheduling of a dental CT scan at Hospital da Luz Torres de Lisboa is available on MY LUZ or at hospitaldaluz.pt/torres-de-lisboa/en (select the Imaging speciality).
