Necessary of CT Diagnosis
If patients move out from the focal trough, image will be changed as extension
or reduction. There are much error in panoramic shot. - Toward to Buccal : Reduction.
- Toward to Lingual : Extension.. ReductionReduction

Necessary of CT Diagnosis
● Insufficient bone & invisible canal from the above canal
● Insufficient bone underneath the sinus
● Bone absorption / Ridge shape
● Nasal cavity / Incisive canal / Sinus

In the view of panorama, mandible darkness is as shown cortical bone.
Therefore, even the knife edge area can be measured as same density.

Absorption of bone can be diagnosed by using 2D, 3D and 360˚ rotation.

Only Panoramic view is invisible because palatal bone is overlaid on the maxilla.
The position and form of the maxillary will be diagnosed as shown as 3D Image.
CT can figure it out easily,
when we use cross sectional view
It can show indefinite bone, because of maxillary cyst.

What are the advantages of CT equipment
Having CT is not only modernized treatment. Also,
satisfaction of what patient
needs.
