Computed tomography, jaw x-ray or teleradiography at the «Giorno Dentale» Clinic

Computed tomography (panoramic 3D image of the jaw) is an optimal and reliable method for diagnostic examination of the condition of the 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 and cheaper the treatment. The network of clinics «Giorno Dentale» is equipped with state-of-the-art devices with digital visiography and highly informative software.

Modern computed tomography devices, which are installed in the «Giorno Dentale» clinics, are equipped with special dental programs. Such equipment allows to examine the bone tissue layer by layer, not only of both jaws (or individual teeth), but also the entire facial section of the skull. This information is especially important in implantology for the precise selection of the implant size, as well as the determination of the location and angle of their insertion.

Computed tomography allows:

• Check for hidden caries.
• Identify unerupted teeth.
• Detect neoplasms.
• Clarify 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.

Panoramic (2D) dental image is an orthopantomogram or OPTG, a general x-ray of the upper and lower jaw. Allows you to simultaneously get a picture of the condition of teeth, root canals and bone tissue in general.

Indications for a panoramic image (as prescribed by a dentist):

• When controlling the growth of teeth in children and wisdom teeth.
• When straightening teeth.
• In preparation for implantation.
• With inflammation of bone tissue.
• With periodontal disease.
• When removing wisdom teeth or tooth cysts.

Teleradiography (abbreviated as TRG) is a general view of the skull in frontal and lateral projection. This type of diagnosis is often used in dentistry, as it allows to identify dentoalveolar anomalies, to plan orthodontic dental treatment. The procedure provides informative images in a natural way and with minimal distortion, which increases the diagnostic value of this study.

Indications for the use of teleradiography (TRG):

• The need to determine the type of bite or the direction of displacement of the teeth.
• Monitoring changes in periodontic tissues.
• Revealing the thickness of the bone tissue.
• The need to determine the exact location of the jaws.
• To identify individual characteristics of growth, anatomical structure or pathologies of the dentoalveolar system.
• For diseases of the temporomandibular joint.
• When planning total prosthetics.

Benefits of teleradiography:

• Affordable scan used to identify various orthodontic problems.
• Fast results that you will receive in just a few minutes after completion.
• The safety of the procedure thanks to the use of modern digital equipment.
• Information content and minimal image distortion: specialists receive all the information they need to make a diagnosis and plan dental treatment.
• Lateral teleradiography is most closely approximated to the real size of the human skull, which means that the doctor will be able to determine with extreme accuracy the presence of all existing pathologies and select the most effective treatment plan as accurately as possible.
