BeamReaders Oral and Maxillofacial Radiologists can help you review your cross-sectional imaging for implant site assessment! And on top of that, they will systematically evaluate your CBCT volumes for signs of abnormalities ensuring you are covered.
Your BeamReaders oral radiology report will help you get the most out of your CBCT imaging, so you can develop your plan for prosthetic restoration.
Our team of over 70 Oral and Maxillofacial Radiologists deliver comprehensive reports, meticulously evaluating bone quality, nerve anatomy, and potential surgical challenges.
This vital information empowers you with the precision needed for optimal implant placement and predictable results.
Every radiology report comprehensively evaluates the entire scan volume.
Confidently identifies critical anatomical anomalies like nerve proximity and variations in bone density to optimize implant planning.
Review bone volume and quality including vertical bone height, horizontal width and edentulous saddle length to determine the amount of bone volume available for implant fixture placement.
Determines whether any variations exist that could compromise the alignment of the implant fixture with the planned prosthetic restoration.
Identifies internal anatomic features that are not easily identified or localized by the clinical examination or conventional radiographic imaging.
Most studies from panoramic or intraoral radiography alone are inadequate to accomplish implant goals, and provide insufficient information to determine treatment difficulty.
Radiographically elucidates what is happening if the patient presents with implant mobility or altered sensation, especially if the fixture is in the posterior mandible.
BeamReaders Radiology Reports describe and visualize abnormalities that may affect your implant planning, so you can plot the best prosthetic plan for your patient.
The AAOMR recommends CBCT imaging as the current method of choice for cross-sectional imaging in that it provides the greatest diagnostic yield at an acceptable radiation dose risk.
Recommendations found in their 2012 position paper also include:
"CBCT should be considered as the imaging modality of choice for preoperative cross-sectional imaging of potential implant sites."
"CBCT imaging should be considered if bone reconstruction and augmentation procedures (e.g., ridge preservation or bone grafting) have been performed to treat bone volume deficiencies before implant placement."

"When we go to conferences about the use of CBCTs in guided surgery, etc., we are told that we're responsible for the entire field of view and it's prudent to have our scans evaluated by a radiologist. But then we leave the conferences and we don't really know where to turn for those services. When I found BeamReaders, it was like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. My BeamReaders radiologist has been fantastic to work with on all my cases!"
