A critical trend in the US CBCT Dental Market for 2025 is the integration of AI-powered diagnostic reporting. Startups and established leaders are deploying cloud-based AI systems that can automatically read and interpret 3D scans to detect bone loss, caries, and nerve pathways with high precision. This "digital second opinion" reduces diagnostic variability and allows U.S. dentists to present clearer treatment plans to patients, improving case acceptance rates.

Radiation safety also remains a top priority. Innovations in Ultra Low-Dose (ULD) protocols now allow CBCT systems to capture 3D volumes at radiation levels lower than a traditional 2D panoramic X-ray. In 2025, over 54% of U.S. dental practices have become "film-free," opting for digital-only workflows that combine low-dose imaging with intraoral scanners. This focus on patient safety is driving a 33% increase in the adoption of 3D imaging for orthodontic and implant planning compared to 2023 levels.
