Computed Tomography, Dental X-Ray and Dental Consultation at the «Giorno Dentale» Clinic

Computed tomography (panoramic 3D image of the jaw) is the optimal and reliable method for the diagnostic study of the state of the dentoalveolar system. Before starting treatment, it is necessary to absolutely accurately determine the cause of the disease. The more correctly the diagnosis is made, the more effective and cheaper the treatment. The network of Giorno Dentale clinics is equipped with state-of-the-art digital imaging devices and highly informative software.

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

Computed tomography allows:

• Check for hidden caries.
• Identify missing teeth.
• Detect neoplasms.
• Specify trauma injuries.
• Carry out quality control of the installation of seals, implants.
• 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 select 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 (2D) dental X-ray 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 the teeth, dental 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 the bones.
• With periodontitis.
• When removing wisdom teeth or tooth cysts.
