What is a CBCT (AIRWAYS)?

CBCT Airways is an advanced 3D imaging examination that evaluates the upper airway and surrounding craniofacial structures. It helps assess airway narrowing, breathing disorders, and supports accurate orthodontic, ENT, and surgical treatment planning.

FAQs

What is CBCT (Airways)?

CBCT (Airways) is an advanced 3D Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) examination that provides detailed images of the upper airway, nasal cavity, throat (pharynx), jaws, and surrounding craniofacial structures. It helps evaluate airway size, shape, and volume to identify narrowing or obstruction that may affect breathing.

Why is CBCT (Airways) performed?

This examination is performed to assess airway narrowing, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), snoring, mouth breathing, craniofacial abnormalities, enlarged adenoids, and other conditions affecting the upper airway. It also supports orthodontic, ENT, and surgical treatment planning.

Can CBCT (Airways) help with orthodontic treatment planning?

Yes. The examination helps orthodontists evaluate the relationship between the jaws, teeth, and airway, allowing treatment plans to consider both dental alignment and airway anatomy.

Can this examination help before jaw or ENT surgery?

Yes. CBCT (Airways) provides detailed three-dimensional information about the airway and surrounding structures, helping surgeons plan orthognathic surgery, airway-related procedures, and selected ENT interventions with greater precision.

What is the difference between CBCT (Airways) and a routine dental CBCT scan?

While a routine dental CBCT primarily focuses on the teeth and jaws, CBCT (Airways) includes detailed assessment and volumetric analysis of the upper airway and surrounding craniofacial structures to evaluate breathing-related anatomy.
