Use case

CBCT viewer for dental 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.

Implant planning shouldn't need a $12k workstation

Most implant planning software is installed on a single PC in the surgeon's office. The general dentist who sent the referral can't see the plan. The patient walks out with nothing.

CBCTHub runs in the browser. The referring dentist, the specialist, and the patient open the same plan from the same link — from any device.

Everything you need to plan an implant

Cross-sections along any curve

Draw the arch curve once — get unlimited buccal-lingual cross-sections at any angulation. Rotate freely to line up with the planned implant axis.

Millimeter measurements with mm calibration

Measure bone height, ridge width, distance to the mandibular canal, and sinus floor in true millimeters. Pixel spacing comes from the DICOM header — no manual calibration.

Panoramic reconstruction

Reconstruct a panoramic view from the CBCT volume on the fly. Spot neighboring teeth, existing restorations, and the inferior alveolar nerve at a glance.

Bone density estimation

Read Hounsfield-equivalent values on the fly to classify bone type (D1–D4) at the implant site before you drill.

Share the plan, not the CD

Generate a link the surgeon can open on their phone at the chair. Pin a comment on the exact slice where the implant goes and move on.

How implant planning looks in CBCTHub

  1. 1Upload the CBCT (or open it locally — no upload needed).
  2. 2Trace the panoramic curve — seconds.
  3. 3Scrub cross-sections; measure bone height and width at the site.
  4. 4Pin a note on the chosen slice ("implant 4.3 × 11 mm, axis angled 5° distal").
  5. 5Send the link to the surgeon or patient.

Frequently asked questions

Can I measure bone density accurately from CBCT?

CBCT voxel intensity is not identical to Hounsfield units from a medical CT, but CBCTHub displays a density scale that's useful for relative comparison and D1–D4 classification — which is what most implant protocols rely on.

Does it show the inferior alveolar nerve canal?

Yes. You can trace the canal manually on cross-sections and measure the distance from the implant apex to the canal in millimeters.

Can the surgeon see the plan without creating an account?

Yes. You share a link. The recipient opens it in their browser — no login, no install, works on mobile.

Other CBCT use cases

Works with every major CBCT scanner

Carestream, Planmeca, Vatech, Sirona, Morita, NewTom, Instrumentarium, PreXion, DENTSPLY and KaVo — any scanner that exports standard DICOM.
