Cutting-edge endodontic technology

Dr. Epkey incorporates the use of cone beam CT (CBCT) technology into her endodontic practice with the use of the Carestream 8100 3D system. This technology aids in her commitment providing innovative, high-quality, patient care.
Rather than relying on a 2D image to represent a 3D object, CBCT accurately displays complex dental anatomy such as periapical lesions, calcified canals, and additional hidden canals. It also shows surrounding structures without the limitations of a flat 2D image.
CBCT offers many advantages in endodontics. The images are acquired as high-resolution 3D volumetric data, so endodontists can interact with the software to ensure superior visualization of the relationships between teeth and their surroundings. This makes it an ideal adjunctive tool in endodontic diagnosis, treatment planning, and guidance, as well as evaluating teeth post-treatment. This technology may also decrease the need for multiple treatment visits.
