RADIOLOGY SERVICES
Panoramic X-Ray
Panoramic radiographs are an extraoral imaging technique that allows to examine all of the existing teeth in the mouth, impacted teeth, bone tissue surrounding the teeth, the entire jawbone, physiological and pathological spaces in the mouth shadow and joints in one go and within the same image. It is especially used in general oral examination for control purposes, simple surgical procedures such as impacted tooth extraction, resection, small cysts or application of a small number of implants. Imaging of all teeth at once allows the patient to be exposed to less radiation compared to serial periapical extractions, and gives the physician the chance to make a general assessment.
Periapical X-Ray
It is an in-mesh imaging technique used to obtain more detailed images about suspicious situations detected in panoramic radiographs, and only a few teeth adjacent to each other and the bone tissue surrounding these teeth can be viewed. It is superior to panoramic radiographs in detail.
Computed Tomography (CT, CT)
It is a three-dimensional tomographic imaging technique used in cases where traditional intraoral and extraoral imaging techniques are insufficient, such as large cysts, tumors, and cases where multiple implant applications are planned. Contrary to other two-dimensional techniques, in this method, cross-sections can also be taken from the mouth area, and thus, the neighborhood of the teeth or pathological formations with the surrounding tissues can be examined in all 3 planes.
Especially in cases where a large number of implants will be applied, the bone thickness in the horizontal direction, the positions of the sinus cavities and the path followed by the vessels and nerves can be determined precisely.
Another advantage of this method is that it can be used in combination with the rapid prototyping method to prepare working models or guide plates of the desired areas before the surgical procedure. In this way, the risk of surgical procedures is minimized.
