Computed tomography (CT)

Computed tomography (CT) of the teeth and jaw is a safe and highly informative diagnostic method in modern dentistry, known for its high precision. It allows for a view of the patient's entire dentition, including roots and canals, and provides the ability to examine the jaw from various angles.

With CT results, the doctor can accurately assess the overall condition of the oral cavity and identify the location and severity of any pathological process.

It is used not only for examination but also for monitoring treatment progress.

Stages of CT of teeth and jaw

STAGE 1

Preparation

The patient removes jewelry and metal objects from the head and neck area to avoid distortion in the images.

STAGE 2

Placement in the tomograph

The patient occupies a comfortable position in the apparatus. The head and chin are fixed in special stands to minimize movement during the examination.

STAGE 3

Scanning

The X-ray machine rotates around the patient's head and makes up to two hundred images at different angles. The process takes about 15 seconds.

STAGE 4

Data Processing

The computer program forms a 3-D model of the teeth, jaw and adjacent structures. The finished image appears on the screen a few minutes after the scan is completed.

STAGE 5

Evaluation of results

The doctor analyzes the 3-D image, assesses the condition of the teeth, roots, bone tissue, nerve channels and joints. Discusses the results with the patient and recommends further treatment steps.
