Computed tomography, panoramic image of the jaws and TRG in the clinic «Your Stomatologist»

Computed tomography (panoramic 3D image of the jaw) is the optimal and reliable method for the diagnostic study of the state of your dentition. Before starting treatment, it is necessary to absolutely accurately determine the cause of the disease. The more correct the diagnosis is, the more effective the treatment.

Computed tomography allows:

• Check for hidden caries.
• Identify unerupted teeth.
• Detection of neoplasms.
• Clarification of injury damage.
• Carry out quality control of the installation of a seal, an implant.
• Visualize the presence of inflammatory processes.
• Assess the degree of resorption (destruction) of the jawbone.
• Find out all the characteristics of the bone in order to choose the best implant.
• To identify anomalies in the development of teeth and jaws.
• Simulate the results of implantation so that patients can see the result they will receive.

A panoramic X-ray (2D) of the jaw is a frontal 2D X-ray of both jaws. A panoramic image of the teeth provides a more accurate picture of the state of the dentition in comparison with an X-ray.

A teleroentgenogram or TRG is a type of X-ray of the front of the head. The image is shot at a distance
1.5 - 2 meters, which allows you to get a picture in a natural ratio of 1: 1 with minimal distortion. The procedure can be performed on children over 6 years old.

What the TRG image shows:

• Position, inclination, displacement of teeth.
• The ratio of the size of bones and soft tissues.
• Inflammation of the periodontium, sinuses, jaw joints.
• Anomalies in the development of the dentoalveolar apparatus.
• Asymmetry of the facial part of the skull.
• The condition of the bite and the reasons for its violation.
• Bone defects, their structure and location.
