3D Imaging

Dental tomography devices convert data obtained from the jaw and teeth region into three-dimensional images and transfer them to a digital environment. The images obtained further facilitate the diagnosis of diseases.

(3D VT) device is a new tomography device specially designed for the head and neck region. The desired area can be viewed in three dimensions using tomography, with the patient being exposed to a very small amount of radiation.

Numerous sections are taken from axial, sagittal and coronal planes using the dental tomography device. These sections are then re-sliced and reconstructed using advanced software, enabling the targeted area to be viewed from the desired angle and from all directions.

It is frequently used in dental and jaw diseases, dental implant applications, and jaw-face region traumas. It provides detailed diagnosis in dental and jaw pathologies.

The most important use of dental tomography (dental volumetric tomography) today is in dental implant procedures, which are becoming increasingly common.

Treatment planning prior to dentomaxillofacial surgical procedures

Preparation of surgical templates for implant placement

Examination of anatomical structures such as the nasal cavity, incisive canal, maxillary sinus, and mandibular canal

Measurement of bone quality and density

Examination of jawbone contours

Examination of the temporomandibular joint

Examination of the periapical region and root canal fillings in root canal treatments

Three-dimensional analysis of the position of impacted teeth within the bone

Examination of pathological formations such as cysts and tumours

Examination of root fractures

Planning in three dimensions using dental volumetric tomography before placing dental implants prevents complications that may arise in the future and allows for responses that meet patients’ aesthetic expectations.

Until recently, only panoramic radiographs were used in implant planning, but with advancing technology, dental volumetric tomography has now gained an important place in implant planning. Three-dimensional imaging of the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the bone where the implant will be placed allows the dentist to begin the operation with more reliable information, thereby reducing the possibility of unwanted complications during implant operations.

Compared to a medical tomography, the scan is performed with up to 1/6 less radiation. The amount of radiation emitted is only 0.5 to 1.5 panoramic X-rays. The image quality and resolution are very high.

You can visualise areas that cannot be exposed with panoramic and periapical X-rays. You can obtain coronal, axial, and sagittal (cross-section) slices from the captured image for a more detailed diagnosis.

You can obtain high-resolution data for implant planning and surgical guide preparation. You can perform pre-treatment planning such as soft tissue detection, bone density measurement, and mandibular canal distance measurement.

You can perform postoperative checks after treatment, prosthesis, and implant. You can detect impacted teeth, cracks, abnormal numbers of canals, and cyst spread.
