· Intraoral scans allow for the customization of dental prosthetics and restorations, resulting in a better-fitting and more aesthetics.
· Scans create digital records of a patient's oral condition, aiding in treatment tracking, follow-ups, and comparisons over time.
· Intraoral scanning eliminates the need for disposable impression materials, contributing to a more environmentally friendly dental practice.
· It provides highly detailed and accurate 3D images of a patient's oral structures, ensuring precise treatment planning and execution.
· Digital scans facilitate communication between dental professionals, specialists, and laboratories, ensuring consistent and high-quality care.
· Intraoral X-rays are crucial in dentistry for diagnosis, early detection, treatment planning, monitoring, development evaluation, patient education, and safety, ensuring the overall oral health and well-being of patients.
· Intraoral X-rays can visually explain dental conditions to patients, promoting their understanding and participation in their own oral care.
· They use lower levels of radiation than traditional X-rays, making them a safe diagnostic tool.
· Intraoral X-rays can identify problems in their early stages, allowing for timely intervention and preventing the progression of dental conditions.
· Dentists use panoramic views to plan complex treatments like orthodontics, oral surgery, and dental implant placement, ensuring accurate and effective procedures.
· OPGs help orthodontists assess dental and skeletal relationships, assisting in treatment planning and monitoring.
· They are crucial for evaluating bone density, volume, and quality, which is essential for successful dental implant placement.
· OPGs can identify TMJ disorders and abnormalities in the jaw joint.
· Panoramic views are relatively quick and convenient, reducing patient exposure to radiation compared to multiple intraoral X-rays.
