Computer Tomography or Panoramic 2D-X-Ray of the Jaw at the Medical Center «Doctor Zub»

Computer tomography (panoramic 3D image of the jaw) is an optimal and reliable method of diagnostic examination of the dental system. Before starting treatment, it is necessary to accurately determine the cause of the disease. The more correct the diagnosis, the more effective and cheaper the treatment.

Modern computer tomography devices installed in the medical center "Doctor Zub" are equipped with special dental programs. Such equipment allows for layer-by-layer examination of bone tissue not only of both jaws (or individual teeth), but also the entire facial part of the skull. This information is especially important in implantology for the precise selection of the size of implants, as well as determining the location and angle of their installation.

Computed tomography allows:

• Check for hidden caries.
• Detect teeth that have not yet erupted.
• Detect a neoplasm.
• 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 properties of the bone in order to select the best implant.
• To detect 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 image is an orthopantomogram or OPTG, a general X-ray image of the upper and lower jaws. Allows you to simultaneously obtain a picture of the condition of the teeth, dental canals and tissue as a whole.

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

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