CBCT vs CT scan for custom implants, which is preferred?

imalitel0stOct 14, 2022
Planning to get a custom cheek implant but need an XRAY of my skull first. Thing is, every surgeon asks for a slightly different thing. CBCT, CT, 3DCT etc. I can't tell if they're all the same or not so I'd like your guys' input on what is the most preferred type of XRAY.

Screws prevent migration of the implant, which can cause other issues. However, a custom implant works best to avoid shifting and, just as importantly, aesthetic issues. More than health-related concerns, subpar aesthetic results with off-the-shelf implants are more common than any other issue.
