Cone Beam CT

We are presenting information in this interview on Cone Beam Volumetric Tomography ( Cone Beam CT ) and its use in implant dentistry. Dr. Alan Winter, a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology, who lectures internationally on this topic, has taken time out of his busy schedule to discuss this important issue with us. He is one of the chief dental consultants at APW Dental and Imaging Services, LLC, which is the leader in this field (www.apwdentalservices.com).

Osseonews: Dr. Winter, dentists have been using medical Computed Tomography (CT) scans to develop treatment plans for implant placement and restoration. Your company exclusively uses Cone Beam Volumetric Tomography (CBVT), which is a relatively new technology when compared to traditional medical scanners. How does it differ from the typical CT scanner used in medical radiologist’s offices?
