Dental Cone Beam Volumetric Tomography Istanbul Turkey Dental Clinic

With our 3D dental tomography device in our clinic, we have the capability to visualize and measure the entire jaw structure in three dimensions. This allows us to ensure that no detail is overlooked, especially in advanced surgical cases, and to see their relationships with anatomical points in detail. Volumetric devices are the dental radiological devices that provide the most detailed images available today.

What Can Be Seen with Dental Volumetric Tomography?

Dental volumetric tomography (DVT) provides dentists with the opportunity to see many details. Various structures and details can be seen more clearly with this imaging method. During a DVT scan, three-dimensional images of teeth, jawbones, sinus cavities, and surrounding tissues are obtained. The roots of teeth, canals, and other anatomical details can be examined in more detail. Jawbones, bone structure, and density can be evaluated. The size, location, and anatomical relationships of sinus cavities can be determined. Pathological conditions such as cysts, tumors, or other abnormalities can be detected more clearly.

DVT assists in determining the implant position during implant planning and surgical interventions. Dental volumetric tomography provides dentists with more comprehensive imaging, supporting accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

How Is Dental Volumetric Tomography Done?

It provides three-dimensional images of teeth, jaw structure, and surrounding tissues. DVT scanning is usually performed in a dental clinic and is a straightforward procedure. The patient’s head is positioned in relation to a scanner placed on the jawline, and the scanner, while rotating around, captures images using low-dose X-rays. This scanning process typically takes a few seconds and is painless.

The obtained images are then reviewed in a digital format, allowing the dentist to access detailed information about jaw structure, sinuses, tooth roots, and other significant anatomical details. DVT helps with planning dental implants, jaw surgery, endodontic treatment, and many other dental procedures successfully.

When Is Dental Volumetric Tomography Needed?

• Implant Planning: DVT is used to evaluate the bone structure where the implant will be placed and to determine the implant’s position.
• Jaw Surgery: In cases requiring jaw surgery, a detailed analysis of the jaw structure is performed using DVT. This is important for procedures such as jaw cysts, tumors, jaw fractures, or sinus surgery.
• Sinus Lifting: When it’s necessary to elevate the sinus floor for dental implant placement, DVT images are used to determine the size and suitable points of the sinus.
• Endodontics (Root Canal Treatment): In complex endodontic cases, DVT allows for a better examination of the shape, size, and anatomical structure of tooth roots, providing more effective root canal treatment.
• Dental Anatomy Assessment: DVT allows for a detailed examination of teeth and surrounding tissues. It provides a more accurate diagnosis in areas such as tooth structure, relationships between teeth, and bone resorption after tooth loss. Dental volumetric tomography is a valuable tool for dentists and plays a crucial role in making accurate diagnoses, treatment planning, and achieving successful results.
