3D TRAUMA IMAGING
Understand the fracture in three dimensions.
CBCT can provide detailed bony anatomy in selected maxillofacial trauma cases. Imaging is interpreted together with the clinical examination.
URGENT CARE
After a facial injury
Severe bleeding, breathing difficulty, loss of consciousness, major eye symptoms or other life-threatening concerns require emergency medical care first. For a stable facial injury, specialist assessment should not be delayed when there is significant pain, swelling, altered bite or difficulty opening the mouth.
