Hello, is there a spray medium that you could spray on the gum tissue before you take a cbct so that I get a better tissue thickness representation? I currently use an acupuncture needle for bone sounding with a supplemental cbct scan for my guides....the spray medium would allow me to outline the tissue (which would allow me to skip the bone sounding).

Of course, instead of taking an expensive novel drug for the rest of your life, you could just fix your gum disease.
