What means dental radiology?
Dental radiology is a complementary service to dental medicine.
The investigation machines use X-rays and together with dedicated software create anatomical volumes in a maximum percentage. This means that the dentist can investigate both hard structures (teeth, bones) and partially soft parts.
These investigations may reveal dental conditions not seen on clinical examination, disorders, variations and deep bone structures.
These investigations help the doctor in making the diagnosis and establishing the treatment plan, taking into account bone densities and volumes, anatomical structures within bone volumes.
Dedicated software in this field can analyse and simulate the accepted treatment plan, they are useful in the execution of precise measurements, surgical guides and the execution of metal parts for facial reconstruction.
Modern devices have a low irradiation dose according to the ALADA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principle..
