3D radiology and scanner intraoral
Since 2010, in our clinic we have 3D digital radiography.
This tool allows us to obtain three-dimensional dynamic images of the anatomical structures of the maxilla or the jaw and offers the following advantages:
- High detail evaluation of the bone where dental implants will be placed. We will obtain information about its quantity, quality and shape.
- This will allow us to place the most suitable implant in every situation, furthermore, it makes it possible to put implants without surgery, because when the shape of the bone is known in detail, the implant can be placed only making a small hole in the gum.
- This way the treatment will take less time and postoperative pain and inflammation will be highly reduced.
- 3D radiography can also be used to evaluate wisdom teeth, for endodontic treatment or to evaluate bone damage among other options.
Since 2023 we have started using intraoral scanner for our treatments.
This tool allows us to reproduce 3D images of the structures in the oral cavity, thus creating a digital document.
This way it is possible for us to obtain models in a more precise and comfortable way for the pacient when compared to the traditional dental impression materials.
Therefore, this has become a usual tool to use on orthodontic diagnsosis, fixed prothesis whether on tooth or implants and it is compulsory in our treatments of orthodontics with clear aligners.
