3D dental tomography and Radiovisiography

3D dental tomography and radiovisiography play a key role in accurate diagnosis and dental treatment planning.

X-ray in dentistry is a diagnostic method to detect hidden problems of the teeth and jaw, such as tooth decay, inflammation or growth abnormalities. Radiovisiography (RVG) is a modern method of X-ray diagnosis, carried out with the help of a special apparatus - radiovisiograph. It provides accurate images of the teeth with minimal radiation dose, making the procedure safe and effective for diagnosis and treatment planning.

What is 3D dental tomography?
3D dental tomography is an imaging technique that produces three-dimensional images of teeth, gums, jawbones and other anatomical structures. Unlike traditional X-rays, 3D tomography provides a complete picture of the oral cavity, which significantly improves the accuracy of diagnosis and treatment.

When is 3D tomography necessary?

Computed tomography in dentistry is literally indispensable for certain procedures, as it provides high accuracy and safety:

• Dental implant placement: Three-dimensional images allow the dentist to pinpoint the exact location for implants, minimising risks and ensuring successful treatment.
• Root canal treatment: 3D tomography allows the dentist to take a detailed look at complex tooth root systems and accurately assess the condition of the tissue.
• Diagnosis of tooth and gum diseases: This method helps to detect diseases at an early stage, which makes their treatment much easier and faster.
• Orthodontics: In order to properly plan bite correction or braces, complete information about the position of the teeth and jaws is needed, which 3D tomography provides.

The 3D tomography procedure is simple and takes only a few minutes. The patient sits comfortably in a special machine that scans the jaw area, creating detailed three-dimensional images. The resulting images are immediately transmitted to the dentist, allowing treatment planning to begin promptly.
