Digital X-rays
In a modern dental office, an X-ray machine is a basic requirement. It is important, however, what dose of radiation the patient gets when he X-ray is made, or whether the X-ray is sufficiently rich in detail.
Intraoral X-rays — Planmeca intraoral X-ray machines
- Decreased dose of radiation—in a severe case, even pregnant women can X-rayed
- Digital scan—the picture is not taken on a traditional film, but the information gets directly into the computer and on the surface of the monitor, in extremely big resolution, it is available for evaluation in 30 seconds.
- The X-ray can be further enlarged with computer, which helps to diagnose the smaller alterations
- X-rays made during root treatments are of much better quality, so he doctor can prepare a good root filling with higher certainty
Panorama X-ray scans—Cranex D—panorama X-ray
Decreased dose of radiation—in a severe case, even pregnant women can X-rayed - Digital scan—the picture is not taken on a traditional film, but the information gets directly into the computer and on the surface of the monitor, in extremely big resolution, it is available for evaluation in 30 seconds.
- The X-ray can be further enlarged with computer, which helps to diagnose the smaller alterations
- The condition of all teeth can be surveyed—there is no need to take intraoral pictures.
- The possible malfunctions of jaw joints and the maxillary sinus can be diagnosed
- With implantations, it is of crucial importance that the doctor can plan the implant based on the quality of the bone, as well as depending on the location of the surrounding anatomical parts (nerves, maxillary sinus, etc.)
- It has a great role in discovering "hidden" decays that are not diagnosed in a simple dental examination
