About
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is an advanced 3D imaging technology. At Tampa Endodontics we use a Planmeca 3D CBCT scanner to take a detailed, three-dimensional view of your tooth, roots, and jaw bone. Unlike a regular X-ray that’s flat, a CBCT scan captures images from all angles, revealing hidden problems. For you, this means more accurate diagnosis: we can spot tiny fractures, extra canals, or infection that conventional X-rays might miss.
Because the scan shows exactly where the issue is, we can plan your treatment with great precision. That means shorter appointments and a higher chance that the problem is fixed on the first try. Planmeca’s CBCT units also use ultra-low-dose X-ray technology. They capture high-quality images while minimizing radiation exposure. In other words, you get a crystal-clear picture of your dental anatomy with very little extra X-ray risk.
Benefits of CBCT by Planmeca:
Provides a crystal-clear, 3D view of your tooth and jaw, revealing hidden canals or fractures.
Allows us to create a precise treatment plan so there are no surprises during your procedure.
Uses advanced low-dose imaging for your safety, getting the information we need with minimal radiation.
Overall, Planmeca CBCT technology helps us give you faster, safer, and more successful care. If you’re curious how 3D imaging might help your specific case, just ask us – we love explaining how it works for patient comfort and better outcomes.

Scientifically proven low dose imaging
Planmeca’s unique Planmeca Ultra Low Dose™ 3D imaging protocol offers a scientifically proven method for low dose CBCT imaging, helping clinicians everywhere to adhere to the ALADA (As Low As Diagnostically Acceptable) principle. While using the protocol decreases the exposure values and thus the patient dose, the image quality is kept on a diagnostically acceptable level. The method provides an optimal balance between the image quality and patient dose, making it ideal for a wide range of clinical cases. The use of Planmeca Ultra Low Dose protocol and its benefits have been studied and scientifically proven in various scientific research.

Planmeca CALM® - Innovative patient movement artifact correction
As the first ever end-user solution for patient movement artifact correction in the dental industry, the Planmeca CALM® algorithm not only saves time but also guards patients from unnecessary exposures.
Solving a central challenge
Patient movement artifacts are among the most significant challenges to CBCT image quality. When a patient moves during imaging, it produces artifacts that affect the quality of the image. Planmeca CALM cancels the effects caused by this movement and allows clinicians to succeed every time.
