Oral Diagnosis & Radiology
ORAL DIAGNOSIS & RADIOLOGY
Introduction
Oral diagnosis and radiology play a crucial role in modern dentistry by enabling accurate identification of dental diseases and conditions. Advanced diagnostic tools help dentists assess oral health, detect early signs of problems, and plan effective treatment. Utilizing state-of-the-art technology, including digital X-rays, intraoral cameras, OPG, and in-house diagnostic facilities, ensures comprehensive patient care.
Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays are a revolutionary advancement in dental imaging, offering high-quality, detailed images with minimal radiation exposure.
Unlike traditional X-rays, digital radiography provides instant results, allowing dentists to diagnose cavities, bone loss, infections, and impacted teeth more efficiently. These images can be enhanced, stored, and shared electronically, improving diagnosis accuracy and treatment planning.
Intraoral Camera
The intraoral camera is a small, pen-like device that captures high-resolution images inside the mouth. It allows dentists and patients to visualize dental issues in real time, such as plaque buildup, cavities, and gum diseases. The ability to magnify problem areas helps in early detection and better communication between the dentist and the patient regarding necessary treatments.
OPG (Orthopantomogram)
An OPG (Orthopantomogram) is a panoramic dental X-ray that provides a wide view of the upper and lower jaw, including the teeth, temporomandibular joints (TMJ), and surrounding bone structure. It is commonly used to assess wisdom teeth positioning, jaw fractures, cysts, and orthodontic needs. OPG is an essential tool for pre-surgical planning, particularly for dental implants and extractions.
In-House Pharmacy
Having an in-house pharmacy within the dental clinic ensures that patients receive immediate access to prescribed medications. This convenience reduces waiting times and enhances patient compliance with post-treatment care, including antibiotics, pain relievers, and specialized dental care products.
In-House Blood Investigations for Dental Surgery
Before certain dental procedures, such as extractions, implants, or gum surgeries, in-house blood investigations are necessary to assess the patient’s overall health. Tests like blood sugar levels, clotting factors, and infection markers help minimize risks and ensure safe treatment. An in-house facility speeds up the process, ensuring that necessary blood tests are conducted promptly without the need for external lab referrals.
By integrating advanced diagnostic tools and in-house facilities, modern dentistry provides patients with safe, accurate, and efficient oral healthcare solutions.
