With the development of technology, diagnosis and treatment processes in the field of dentistry have also become significantly easier. A professional dentist can usually make diagnostic and treatment decisions based on a physical examination and the patient’s medical history. However, thanks to dental radiology technologies, problems in the mouth, teeth and nerve structures can be seen in much more detail and thus more accurate diagnoses can be made.
What is Dental Radiology?
Dental radiology is a science that allows patients’ oral and dental problems to be examined from every angle in 2D or 3D, making it easier to make an accurate diagnosis. This technology optimizes treatment processes by providing dentists with detailed images.
What is a Periapical X-Ray Device?
The periapical X-ray device used in our clinic is specifically designed for detailed visualization of the area at the tip of the tooth root. This device is very effective in diagnosing hidden problems around the tooth root. Thanks to periapical x-rays, suspicious teeth and tooth roots can be examined in detail, which minimizes the margin of error in the treatment process.
What are the Advantages of Dental Radiology?
The advantages of dental radiology, which is also used in our clinic, are as follows:
- Increases the Success Rate of Implant and Endodontic Procedures: Dental radiology increases the success rate of detailed dentistry procedures such as implant placement and root canal treatment.
- Facilitates the Treatment Process: The treatment process becomes more comfortable and efficient for both the patient and the dentist.
- Provides Detailed Examination: Provides a detailed examination of the nerves and bones in the mouth, teeth and jaw.
- Provides Precise Diagnosis: It allows for a much more precise diagnosis of problems that may occur in the mouth, teeth and jaw.
