In dentistry, a 3D computer scan involves the use of a special tomographic device (CBCT – Cone Beam Computed Tomography) that produces a three-dimensional image of the teeth, jawbones, and surrounding structures.

The main goal is to maintain healthy teeth, guide proper jaw and tooth development, and help children develop positive dental habits.
