Digital Dentistry

After bone measurements are made with 3D computed tomographs taken from patients, intraoral impression taking is performed with the 3D scanning method. Teeth are scanned with an optical camera and transferred to the computer. In other words, the size, diameter and the area where the implant will be placed are determined in a virtual environment.

Implant surgery with the x-Guide 3D dynamic navigation device allows the implant to be placed by visually seeing the progress of the implant drills in the bone without the need for any surgical guides.

In addition to this; according to the virtual image obtained, guides are prepared to ensure that the template, which is designed and produced individually, is used in the patient. During the operation, this guide is inserted into the patient’s mouth and the implants are placed in the planned locations and positions.

Pre-treatment planning and treatment process are supported by tomographs that allow 3-dimensional imaging of the face, jaws and teeth. It allows images to be followed from different angles and sections and precise measurements to be made before the procedure.

Compared to computed tomography used in medicine, dental computed tomography can perform imaging with a much lower radiation dose.

The areas of use of Dental Computed Tomography are as follows:

• Assessment of bone volume and quality
• State of anatomical formations
• Determination of implant size
• Evaluation of the direction and position of impacted teeth and determination of their relationship with adjacent anatomical regions
• Three-dimensional examination of the bone structure of the mandibular joint
• Evaluation of growth and development
• Demonstration of skeletal jaw and facial asymmetries
• Evaluation of pathological formations such as infections, cysts and tumors in terms of their size, location, extension and relationship with neighboring anatomical structures and their effect on them
• Preoperative planning of maxillofacial surgeries
• Obtaining three-dimensional models of the jaw and facial system
• Evaluation of irregularities occurring on the articular surfaces of the jaw
• The ability to evaluate the bone structure and destruction around each tooth separately
• Monitoring of bone loss around the teeth
