Computed Tomography, Dental X-rays and Dental Consultation at the Giorno Dentale clinic

Computed tomography (panoramic 3D imaging of the jaw) is an optimal and reliable diagnostic method for assessing the condition of the dental system. Before beginning treatment, it is essential to accurately determine the cause of the condition. The more accurate the diagnosis, the more effective and cost-effective the treatment. The Giorno Dentale clinic network is equipped with state-of-the-art digital imaging equipment and highly informative software.

The modern CT scanners installed at Giorno Dentale clinics are equipped with specialized dental software. This equipment allows for a layer-by-layer examination of bone tissue not only in both jaws (or individual teeth), but also in the entire facial region. This information is especially important in implantology for accurately selecting the size of implants, as well as determining their placement location and angle.

Computed tomography allows:

• Check for hidden caries.
• Identify unerupted teeth.
• Detect neoplasms.
• Specify the damage in case of injuries.
• Conduct quality control of the installation of a filling or implant.
• Visualize the presence of inflammatory processes.
• Assess the degree of resorption (destruction) of the jaw bone.
• Find out all the characteristics of the bone to select the best implant.
• To identify developmental anomalies of teeth and jaws.
• Simulate the results of implantation so that patients can see the result they will receive.

A panoramic (2D) dental x-ray is an orthopantomogram (OPG), a general X-ray of the upper and lower jaws. It provides a simultaneous picture of the condition of the teeth, root canals, and bone tissue as a whole.

Indications for a panoramic x-ray (as prescribed by a dentist):

• To monitor the growth of teeth in children and wisdom teeth.
• When aligning teeth.
• In preparation for implantation.
• For inflammation of bone tissue.
• For periodontal disease.
• When removing wisdom teeth or dental cysts.
