Dental Diagnosis and Dental Radiology
Oral diagnosis is the unit of diagnosis with its simplest definition. First of all, records of your general health are taken and the teeth, gums, tongue, salivary glands, jawbone and jaw joint are examined. Questions are asked about the patient’s discomfort, problems are listened to. Symptoms are identified. Afterwards, our patients are informed about the problems that have occurred and may occur. Radiographic examination is an indispensable method used in diagnosis, treatment planning, treatment completion and controls in all branches of dentistry. X-rays allow you to see areas that are not noticeable during a visual examination. In oral health, radiological examinations are very important for diagnosis and treatment. Our dental radiology unit has dental tomography, digital panoramic radiography and cephalometric radiography units.
Dental Tomography
Dental tomography is a radiological diagnosis method that gives a three-dimensional image using X-ray and enables the cross-sectional examination of the desired area. In dental tomography, bone and soft tissue details that cannot be seen in panoramic x-ray films are easily seen.
Digital Panoramic X-Ray
Panoramic x-ray is a type of tomographic x-ray in which all of the teeth and the jawbone are viewed with less radiation. It is used to show parts of the teeth, bones and gums that are not visible on clinical examination. Using the digital system it increases the quality of the image and minimizes the amount of radiation received by the person.
Intraoral Camera
The intraoral camera used during the examination allows the gums, dental caries, fillings, bridges and coatings to be seen easily. When the physician deems it necessary, it reflects the intraoral camera images to the patient’s screen and shares them with you.
Cephalometric X-Ray
It is a full head film taken from the profile. Thanks to the cephalometric x-ray, the relationship between the jaw-tooth-skull bones and the soft tissue profile is examined in detail. It is an x-ray required for comparison before orthodontic treatment begins and after treatment ends. Likewise, cephalometric film is taken before and after jaw surgeries.
