Tests
Many non-invasive measures are used in dentistry to provide visual information about a certain tooth or region of the mouth. Using the knowledge about typical criteria of various pathology, a clinician can use the data provided by visual diagnostic methods to diagnose a specific condition.
These tests are available at Neodenta implant and cosmetic dentistry clinic:
Orthopantomogram: it is an X-ray showing upper and lower jaws and the sinuses. It is crucial for evaluating the general condition of teeth and jaws and for treatment planning;
Lateral cephalogram: it is an X-ray of the head from the side, used for orthodontic treatment;
Dental X-rays: they are used to visualize internal tissues of the teeth by providing views of single teeth;
Microscopy;
Tomography and computed tomography (CT): they allow for a very precise diagnostics associated with changes in the mineral component of teeth, root and bone fractures, tooth position anomalies and for observing radiopaque foreign bodies;
Bitewing X-rays;
Test for bacteria associated with periodontitis and periimplantitis;
Dental cyst tests;
Saliva pH tests;
DNA tests.
After examining the patient and evaluating his condition an optimal treatment plan is created.
Modern equipment used in the clinic ensure a narrow X-ray beam targeted only at the region of interest, lead aprons are used to protect the patient from unnecessary irradiation.
