- What is Oral Diagnosis?
Oral Diagnosis; Examination of x-rays of the patient's mouth and a detailed intraoral examination. It is the process of making a diagnosis following the diagnosis.
- Radiology
Oral diseases - especially those related to hard tissue such as teeth and jawbone. Dental radiographs, that is, dental films, are the most helpful in diagnosing the disease. The two most used types of dental films are; They are periapical (small, showing 2-3 teeth)and panoramic (large, showing all lower and upper teeth and the entire jaw bones) films.
- Dental Films (Dental Radiography)
Digital Panaromic Radiography: Panaromic radiographs show all existing teeth in the mouth, impacted teeth, surrounding teeth. It is a technique for imaging bone tissue and the entire jawbone. While the images of the x-ray taken can be viewed instantly on the computer screen, enlargement-reduction operations and measurements can also be made on these images. In this technique, the radiation exposure to the patient is also significantly reduced. In addition, it is an important advantage that the images can be stored in the patient file on a computer or shared on the internet when necessary.
Periapical Radiographs: Used only to obtain more detailed images of suspicious situations detected in panoramic radiographs. It is an in-network imaging technique in which several adjacent teeth and the bone tissue surrounding these teeth can be viewed.
Digital Radiographs (RVG): While the images of the x-ray taken can be instantly viewed on the computer screen, these images can also be viewed. Desired color settings, enlargement-reduction operations and measurements can be made on it. In this technique, the radiation exposure to the patient is also significantly reduced. In addition, it is an important advantage that the images can be stored in the patient file on a computer or shared on the internet when necessary.
Computed Tomography (CT, CT): Large cysts, tumors and many implant applications. It is a three-dimensional tomographic imaging technique used in cases where traditional intraoral and extraoral imaging techniques are inadequate, such as planned cases. Unlike other two-dimensional techniques, in this method, cross-sections can be taken from the mouth area, and thus, the neighborhood of teeth or pathological formations with the surrounding tissues can be examined in three planes. Especially in cases where many implants will be applied, the horizontal bone thickness, the location of the sinus cavities and the path of the vessels and nerves can be determined precisely. Another advantage of this method is that by using it in combination with the rapid prototyping method, study models or guide plates of the desired areas can be prepared before the surgical procedure. In this way, the risk of surgical procedures is minimized.
