Dental x-rays examinations

It is hard to imagine modern diagnostics without dental radiology. That’s why it is an essential part of the services provided by Medicadent clinic. Imaging studies enable us to obtain highly accurate information that cannot be achieved through standard methods. They are primarily used for detecting pathological changes that are not visible through other techniques.

At Medicadent, we perform dental radiographic imaging using the radiovisiography (RVG) method, panoramic radiographs, lateral cephalometric radiographs, and computerized tomography.

Medicadent’s radiology services include:

Dental radiographic imaging using the radiovisiography (RVG) method
Panoramic radiographs
Lateral cephalometric radiographs
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)

All imaging procedures at Medicadent are conducted digitally, allowing for prompt consultations with specialists from other fields.

Types of dental radiology examinations offered at Medicadent clinic:

Periapical X-rays
These are X-rays that cover only one tooth and its surrounding area. They are primarily used for specific tooth treatments, such as root canal therapy or dental implant placement.
Panoramic X-rays
This type of X-ray captures the upper and lower dental arches, allowing for a comprehensive view of the entire oral cavity. Panoramic X-rays are commonly used for dental diagnostics and orthodontic treatments.
Cephalometric X-rays
Also known as lateral X-rays, as they present a profile view of the skull. They are primarily used in orthodontic treatments to assess the bite.
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)
This examination is employed for detailed imaging of tissues and enables the detection of changes that may not be visible in regular X-rays. A distinctive feature of CBCT is the ability to obtain three-dimensional images, providing a view of structures from various angles. CBCT, also referred to as cone beam tomography, is utilized in periodontology, oral surgery, the diagnosis of temporomandibular joint disorders, and implantology.

Dental radiography plays a crucial role in various fields of dentistry. It is used in maxillofacial surgery to determine the position of impacted teeth within the bone. It is also performed prior to root canal therapy and during orthodontic treatment to assess bite irregularities and evaluate the effectiveness of procedures.

FAQ

01
Are dental X-rays safe?

Yes, the radiographic examinations conducted at Medicadent clinic are not only very safe but also painless for patients. The radiation dose during digital X-ray imaging is minimal. The radiation exposure from a single X-ray is comparable to what we receive during a 5-hour flight. Additionally, a medical interview is always conducted with the patient prior to performing any X-ray examination.
02
How often can dental X-rays be taken?

Although dental X-rays are safe, like any other procedures, their frequency should not be excessive. X-ray examinations are performed as often as necessary to accurately diagnose the problem, monitor treatment progress, and assess outcomes after treatment completion.
03
Can dental X-rays be taken for pregnant women?

With the well-being of pregnant patients in mind, efforts are made to replace X-ray examinations with alternative diagnostic methods. While taking X-rays during pregnancy is not a direct contraindication, it should be remembered that, as with all patients, the use of X-ray imaging should be minimized. Ideally, any necessary X-ray examinations should be performed before pregnancy.
04
When can I receive the results of the X-ray examination?

The results of the imaging examination are available immediately after its completion. Modern radiographic diagnostic devices are digital, allowing for instant visualization on a computer screen and the option to save the images as files. As a result, there is no need to wait long for the results.
05
What is CBCT imaging useful for?

CBCT imaging is extremely useful for planning surgical and implant procedures, enabling dentists to determine the precise positioning of implants with accuracy to tenths of a millimeter. In the case of endodontic treatment, CBCT tomography allows for an accurate assessment of root canal length, evaluation of their condition, and identification of additional, atypically located canal orifices. This enhances the effectiveness and reduces invasiveness of the procedure.
