Use case
CBCT viewer for oral and maxillofacial surgery
Plan third-molar extractions, bone grafts, TMJ assessments, and pathology workups in the browser. Share the plan with the referring dentist or the anesthesia team in seconds.
Surgery is a team sport. The imaging shouldn't be siloed on one PC.
The referring dentist took the CBCT. The surgeon needs it. The anesthesia team needs it. The patient wants to understand.
CBCTHub is the one link everyone on the case can open — from the clinic PC, the tablet on the OR floor, or the patient's phone.
The oral-surgery CBCT toolkit
Third-molar risk assessment
Measure distance between lower third molar roots and the inferior alveolar nerve. Classify contact vs. true proximity.
Bone graft volume planning
Measure defects in all three planes. Estimate graft volume and design for maxillary sinus lifts or ridge augmentation.
TMJ assessment
Scroll condylar heads in sagittal and coronal. Identify flattening, osteophytes, subchondral cysts, and joint space changes.
Pathology workup
Visualize cysts, tumors, osteomyelitis, and maxillofacial fractures in 3D before surgery.
Consent and patient communication
Open the CBCT on a tablet next to the patient. Show them the case in 3D while you explain. Informed consent done right.
Surgical workflow
- 1Referring dentist sends the CBCT link.
- 2Surgeon reviews MPR and measurements from the clinic or phone.
- 3Pin a comment on the anatomic risk structure ("IAN contact, left 38").
- 4Share the same link with the anesthesia team before the OR.
- 5Open on the tablet chairside for informed consent.
Frequently asked questions
Can I measure the distance to the inferior alveolar nerve?
Yes. Trace the canal on cross-sections and measure the closest distance from the third-molar root to the canal in millimeters.
Does it work for facial fractures?
Yes. Any standard CBCT DICOM opens — including extended-FOV scans that capture midface and mandibular fractures.
Can the anesthesia team see the airway before induction?
Yes. They open the same link you opened. Saves you a pre-op call and a missed fax.
Other CBCT use cases
Implant planning
Plan implants in the browser with sub-millimeter measurements, bone-density estimation, and cross-sections anywhere along the arch — then share the plan with the surgeon via link.
Orthodontics
Assess airway, impacted canines, root proximity, and skeletal asymmetry in any browser — then share cephalometric findings with the orthodontist or lab instantly.
Endodontics
Spot extra canals, peri-apical lesions, vertical root fractures, and resorption in any browser. Share findings with the referring dentist in seconds — not days.
Works with every major CBCT scanner
Carestream, Planmeca, Vatech, Sirona, Morita, NewTom, Instrumentarium, PreXion, DENTSPLY and KaVo — any scanner that exports standard DICOM.
