Dental Radiography is considered one of the main diagnostic tests; in fact, it allows a complete view of the patient's dental anatomy and forms the basis on which to set up further investigations for the most scrupulous diagnostic needs. It is one of the fundamental points of the diagnostic protocol of the preliminary treatment plan, allowing us to discover all those diseases of the stomatognatic apparatus that are not detectable in a precise manner during the objective examination.
It is a quick, non-invasive examination, for which we use one of the most modern radiographic devices: digital acquisition radiography.
A digital radiographic system that provides a number of advantages for the patient:
- The dose of emitted and absorbed radiation is much lower than that of traditional systems.
- It is possible to evaluate the radiographic image thanks to the computer that allows us to enlarge it, rotate it, observe it three-dimensionally, color it according to the density of the tissues, and measure the dimensions.
- An intraoperative control can be performed without the need for development, with results in real time.
Our radiographic devices allow us various types of evaluations:
Orthopantomography: The overview of the lower and upper dental arch is the basis of any dental check-up, allowing the doctor to have an overview of the state of the teeth, the state of periodontal tissues, the devitalized teeth, the obturations and the implantology interventions.
Endorals: The endoral plates allow dentists to have greater visibility of the individual teeth, of the maxillary bone in which they are inserted, to know the number and shape of the roots and to accurately measure the length of the channels. These are the fundamental plates for an accurate diagnosis, allowing a precise evaluation of the tooth and of the structures adjacent to it.
3D digital radiography - cone bean: 3D is now essential in almost all fields of dentistry: implant surgery, endodontics and tooth extraction. The 3D cone beans are images that faithfully reproduce the patient's anatomy and allow observing the anatomical dimensions from any point of view, evaluating the bone volume in a 360 ° total. The Cone Beam 3D technique proves superior to traditional CT for the greater definition of its images, because it allows better contrasts between structures of different density (gingiva-bone), due to the lower exposure to radiant doses, because the examination is generally shorter , with the patient in a more comfortable position.
Our radiographic systems of the latest generation are designed to support dentists in their work, but also and above all to protect the patient: for this reason the radiation doses emitted are minimal but without compromising the yield. Even patients, thanks to the use of these 'live' images, will be able to better understand the diagnoses and be immediately aware of the situation of their oral health.
