PARIS, France: Today, CBCT has become an indispensable imaging tool in many endodontic practices. This technology supports optimal treatment planning and aids in the provision of comprehensive, factual information to patients. An advantage of CBCT is that it can provide a 3-D representation of the dental arch without any distortion.

In connection with endodontic procedures, even very fine structures have to be detected, for example the number, location and shape of root canals. Therefore, the radiographic system used has to be as precise as possible. In this respect, according to Morita, it uses state-of-the-art 3-D X-ray technology in its Veraview X800, which provides brilliant image quality with a voxel size of 80 µm and resolution of 2.5 LP/mm and MTF of 10 per cent. Highly precise 3-D, panoramic and cephalometric images—both in 180° and 360° modes—can be obtained with this unit, the company said. Furthermore, the wide spectrum provided by 11 fields of view covers many fields of dentistry and is particularly applicable in endodontics.

In order to further increase the sharpness of the images and to reduce artefacts and distortion to a minimum, Veraview X800 uses a horizontal X-ray beam that generates highly detailed 3-D images, the company explained. If the clinician shifts the horizontal X-ray beam by 5°, the disruptive shadows on the hard palate are suppressed in panoramic imaging. Afterwards, the X-rays can be recalculated with the zoom reconstruction function; for example, an 80 μm voxel image can be reconstructed from a 125 μm voxel image without having to take new scans.

Panoramic imaging has also been improved: the adaptive focal point analyses several layers of acquired images, chooses the optimal panoramic layer for each region and pieces them together to form a new image. The adaptive grey scale function ensures perfect contrast, the company said.

The new features of Veraview X800 are combined with the R100 Reuleaux triangular field of view, which scans only the region needed for making the diagnosis and, thus, significantly reduces radiation exposure compared with the conventional cylindrical shape.
