Radiodiagnostics
Department of Preventive & Diagnostic Dentistry – Radiology Department
X-rays are a useful tool for the dentist and gives us information so that:
We can prevent many pathological conditions of the oral cavity that we have not noticed.
We can diagnose diseases of the oral cavity, from which the teeth and bones of the jaws are usually affected.
In our clinic, we anticipated the construction of an armored radiology room to ensure full radiation protection. At the same time, we have last generation digital equipment to ensure the smallest radiation dose in just 5.5 seconds. In addition, we provide you with a lead radiation protection apron with a collar for thyroid protection or for cases of undiagnosed pregnancy,
1. Periapical X-ray
The dentist can get information on the presence of tooth decay, the root morphology and the pulp chamber, the existence and morphology of peri-cortical deformations, the control of the alveolar bone and periodontal tissues, the existence of root or crown fractures, the existence of internal or external root absorption.
2. Full series of periapical radiographs
It is a complete series of 14 periapical and serves for the examination of tooth and peri-cortical tissues
3. Digital panoramic x-ray of adults and children with further reduced radiation
It has been established in everyday dentistry as a valuable diagnostic tool and is the only technique that allows the dentist to see in one single image all the teeth and adjacent tissues. Diagnosis of the presence of tooth decay, existence of tooth fractures, existence of apex cysts, presence of periodontal disease, existence of pathological condition of the jaw bone and presence of incised teeth is conducted.
It is also used at patients with signs of Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction, at patients to undergo orthodontic treatment, at implant patients, at patients who are to be placed partial or total dentures or immobilized prostheses, at patients with jaw fractures etc. With our digital orthophotomograph, the process lasts only 5.5 seconds for adults (with the lowest radiation dose) and 4.8 seconds for children (with further irradiation dose reduction).
4. Temporomandibular Joint Structure X-ray (TMJ x-ray)
It is the only method, apart from arthroscopy and open surgery, to illustrate the morphology of the Temporomandibular Joint Structure. It is therefore useful to diagnose any fractures, benign or malignant neoplasms, asymmetry of the lower jaw, hypertrophy or tuber hyperplasia, etc.
5. Bitewing x-ray
It is a valuable diagnostic aid for the discovery of tooth decay of adjacent surfaces, even when they can not be revealed with the detector and are not visible.
6. Occlusal X-Ray
It serves for the radiographic control of the cross section area one half of the upper jaw or the entire palate (for the upper jaw) and for radiographic control of the mental area in one half of the lower jaw or the whole of the mouth and bone of the lower jaw (for the lower jaw). Essentially, it is necessary in cases of existence of pathological conditions in jaw bones, in cases of cleft palates, in lower jaw’s incised teeth that their position, in supernumerary teeth or sperm in the area of the upper jaw, it is essential to control the fractures of the jaw, for the evaluation of malignant jaw damage, sialolithiasis and other rare diseases.
