3D Cone Beam: Where This Multi-Disciplinary
Imaging Modality can fit Into Your Practice
3D imaging provides a noninvasive way of gathering more
anatomical information than
2D radiography for a wide variety of clinical applications and
conditions, such as implants,
extractions, oral surgery, orthodontics, TMD, plus sleep and
airway disorders. Practitioners who
have implemented this dynamic and
flexible imaging method are eager to
provide feedback on how i-CAT scanning technology has helped to improve
their practice, helped their patients, and
given them more information for more
comprehensive dental care.
Guy Gross, DDS, of New Horizons
Dental Care in Salina, KS: "As a general
dental practice, Cone Beam 3D imaging has allowed us to cater to a broader
range of patients' needs by offering
specialized services, including dental
implants, orthodontics, endodontics
and sleep dentistry. This technology can
dramatically change how a clinician
diagnoses, and it has become a standard
diagnostic protocol in my practice. I
can look my patients in the eye and tell
them if I am going to be able to place an
implant without an incision or stitches.
This takes away their fear of pain.
I know I am performing better dentistry
as a result of having this technology."
Randolph Resnik, DMD, MDS, of Resnik
Dental Implants in Pittsburgh, PA: "I've
been involved with CT Scans in implant
dentistry for over 25 years, and I've
58

found that the new i-CAT FLX ConeBeam unit has now changed the way I
practice implant dentistry. The i-CAT
scanners produce unparalleled images
which are so crucial in the treatment
planning for dental implants. Additionally, the flexibility of these units allows
the clinician to collimate and select
various fields-of-view, thus drastically
reducing the radiation exposure to
the patient."
Steven Olmos, DDS, founder of the TMJ
& Sleep Therapy Centre in La Mesa, CA:
"My i-CAT is invaluable to proper
diagnosis. In my business, I have to
figure out why people hurt and don't
breathe well. The i-CAT scan shows if
there is ossification of certain bones or
ligaments that are the cause of people's
aches and pains. Since orthopedic
disorders of the TMJs and facial pain
are often the result of breathing disorders, volumetric evaluation of the nasal,
nasopharyngeal, velopharynx and hypo
pharynx are absolute. My i-CAT reliably
gives me this vital information with the
lowest radiation dose possible."
Steven A. Guttenburg, DDS, MD, of the
Washington Institute for Mouth, Face
and Jaw Surgery in Washington, DC:
"Cone Beam CT is indispensable for the
practice of modern day oral and maxillofacial surgery. For the evaluation of
oral and maxillofacial pathology that exists within the bone and sometimes soft
tissue, CBCT is remarkably useful. We
also use this technology in our practice
for the evaluation of deeply impacted
teeth and for maxillofacial trauma.
Given the new technology from i-CAT
FLX, this information can be harnessed
at an incredibly low radiation dosage."
Aaron Molen, DDS, MS, of Molen
Orthodontics in Auburn, WA: "For an
orthodontist, having a CBCT with a
low-dose feature, like the i-CAT FLX,
gives us a wealth of information with
a fraction of the radiation. Using the
QuickScan+ setting, I can capture a view
from the lower Menton to the Orbitale at
a lower radiation dose than a pan-ceph
combination. I cannot even quantify
how much more information I can
obtain from a 3D scan with less radiation than with traditional 2D imaging."
