Digital Periapical Radiography at ImplArt

Digital periapical radiography

The ImplArt Clinic is always thinking about offering the most modern resources to its patients, which is why it has just added the modern Vatech EzRay Air equipment for periapical scans to its Radiology Center. This equipment allows radiographic examinations to be carried out with excellent image quality, which helps in diagnoses for more precise implants and other treatments much more quickly and comfortably.

Here at the ImplArt Dental Clinic, right from your initial consultation with our clinical director, implant dentist Dr. Roberto Markarian, you can have your dental implant exams done before you even come in for a consultation. This way, as the test results are real-time and digital, they will already be available for full evaluation.

The EzRay Air is a very light X-ray machine, rich in technological features, such as Intelligent Positioning, which allows images to be acquired quickly and conveniently thanks to its digital display with automatic angulation calculation. But how important are the tests for implant surgery? We’ll find out more below.

How important are the tests for dental implants?

Of course, periapical radiographic images are essential for visualizing teeth, dental crowns, roots, periodontal ligaments and alveolar bone (bone around teeth/implants) in detail. The periapical image is the best radiographic view for identifying certain types of lesions, infections, diseases, anomalies or fractures in any of these anatomical structures. In addition, panoramic radiography and computed tomography are necessary to plan implant surgery.

High image quality and security with digital periapical radiography

Digital periapical radiography, with its high image quality, is the result of carbon nanotechnology combined with a focal point of just 0.4 mm, which is the standard of excellence in radiology worldwide. This combination generates images with optimal contrast for faster and more accurate diagnoses. The EzRay Airf is designed to guarantee a distance from the focal point to the skin and reduce the radiation dose to the patient by 60%. The CMOS technology of the intraoral sensor is thinner, providing greater patient comfort.

Digital radiology center at the ImplArt Clinic

For your convenience, the ImplArt Dental Clinic has a digital radiology center for carrying out radiological examinations, which are essential for diagnosis and planning/monitoring various dental treatments. Diagnostic examinations certainly play a key role in the planning of an excellent dental treatment by an implant dentist. They are indispensable for planning bone grafting, periodontal grafting, dental implants, total impl ants and protocol prostheses.

In this sense, digital radiology at the ImplArt Clinic is linked to the One Stop Solution concept, where patients can carry out everything from diagnostic examinations to complete dental treatment within the complete structure of the Dental Clinic.

Digital radiographs and examinations at the ImplArt clinic help with rapid diagnosis and treatment planning

The ImplArt Clinic’s digital radiology center facilitates diagnosis and speeds up the start of treatment, since patients don’t have to travel to another address to have their tests carried out.

The ImplArt radiology center is equipped with a state-of-the-art digital x-ray machine (manufactured by Dabi Atlante), which enables digital panoramic x-rays and computed tomography, both with real-time image results.

With these high-precision tests, the diagnosis is made quickly and reliably. They also support treatment planning, avoiding wasted time, unnecessary procedures and possible surgical accidents.

Digital radiography is a way of capturing images by emitting x-rays, but with digital sensors rather than traditional film.

Advantages of Digital Radiology

There are many advantages to using digital radiography:

  • Patient exposure to radiation is much lower in digital radiology compared to traditional film.
  • The patient doesn’t have to repeat the examination until the image is good.
  • Diagnoses are faster and more accurate, as the image captured in digital radiology has excellent resolution and the dentist can view it directly on the computer screen (no need to wait for it to be developed).
  • It allows small details such as tooth or root fractures to be analyzed. The dentist can enlarge the image when necessary.
  • It allows interaction between dentist and patient, since with the digital image on the computer screen, it is possible to better discuss the diagnosis and treatment planning.
  • It can be filed in the patient’s chart and opened by any member of the dental team involved in planning and treatment.
  • The test is sustainable, as there is no need to print film or use toxic chemicals to develop it.

Digital radiology – Panoramic radiography

A radiological examination used to visualize oral structures. Here are some situations in which it is very useful in dentistry:

Computerized Tomography (CT-scan)

Thishigh-precision radiological examination, available at the ImplArt Clinic’s Digital Radiology Center, is designed to visualize bone structures. In dentistry, it is very useful because the three-dimensional image makes it possible to analyze teeth, bones, joints, occlusion, soft tissues, nerve pathways, etc. Here are some of the main uses of CT in dentistry.

  • Diagnosing periodontal diseases, even at an early stage.
  • Measuring bone volume for planning dental implant surgery. Knowing the exact measurements of the bone tissue is an extremely important factor when planning dental implant surgery, because in this way it is possible to choose implants with dimensions suited to the needs of each patient and also to respect the limits of the tissues in order to avoid affecting sensitive structures such as nerves.
  • CT assists in what we call computer-guided surgery, a technique that makes surgery precise and less invasive, and therefore with the expectation of a quicker and smoother recovery.
  • Monitoring the implant healing process (osseointegration).
  • Identify possible problems with the implant, especially peri-implantitis (infection around the implant that can lead to mobility or falling out).
  • Identify fractures or defects in the maxilla or mandible that affect the health and stability of teeth or implants.
