An increasing number of patients are receiving chronic injury to the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) due to the rise of dental implant surgery. Damage of this kind is debilitating to patients, causing severe facial pain or numbness and affecting day-to-day activities such as speaking and eating. Dentists can reduce the risk of IAN damage simply by using the CS 9300 system from Carestream Dental, with which the clinician can clearly identify the nerve in three dimensions, thus aiding in the critical diagnosis and treatment decision-making stages.

The all-in-one imaging solution features a flexible field of view for truly adaptable 2D or 3D imaging in the area of interest. Clinicians can select from Focused-Field Mode (5 × 5 cm), which produces unparalleled detail at minimal dose, through to Maxillofacial Mode (17 × 13.5 cm).

The CS 9300 imaging software quickly accesses and reviews images slice by slice, enabling the creation of vivid 3D renderings for precision diagnosis.
