Who needs a referral for a CBCT scan?

CBCT scans are often recommended for patients who require a detailed three-dimensional assessment of their dental structures. Common scenarios where a referral for a CBCT scan may be needed include:

1. Implant Planning: Patients undergoing or considering dental implant placement may require a CBCT scan to assess bone density, bone morphology, and identify anatomical structures (nerves, sinuses) for precise implant planning.
2. Orthodontics: In orthodontic treatment, a CBCT scan may be necessary to evaluate tooth positions, roots, and bone structures to plan the most appropriate orthodontic intervention.
3. Endodontics: CBCT scans can aid endodontists in determining the anatomy of complex root canal systems, identifying root fractures, and assessing the proximity of adjacent structures.
4. TMJ Analysis: Patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) may benefit from a CBCT scan to assess the joint's position, condylar morphology, disc displacement, and bony abnormalities that contribute to their symptoms.
5. Maxillofacial Surgery: CBCT scans are crucial for surgical planning, especially in cases of impacted wisdom teeth, orthognathic surgery, jaw fractures, and pathology assessment.

It is important to note that the need for a referral may vary depending on dental regulations and specific dental practices or healthcare systems. Therefore, it is advisable to consult with the appropriate dental professional or dental specialist to determine if a referral is required for a CBCT scan.
