X-rays, also called radiographs,
give us the ability to see between and inside your teeth. X-ray is primary and
essential part of diagnosis of dental problem.
X-rays are the most common type
of radiograph taken in dentistry. They give a high level of detail of the
tooth, bone and supporting tissues of the mouth. These X-rays allow us to:
♦
Find
cavities
♦
Check
the health of the bony area around the tooth
♦
Help
diagnose periodontal disease
♦
See
the status of developing teeth
Instead of routine x-ray film, as a responsible dental
practitioner,
we use latest technology Digital Radiovisiography (RVG) for diagnosing your
dental problems.
Advantages of Digital Radiographs
(RVG)
♦ There is 50% to 90% reduction
in radiation needed to expose an image.
♦ Digital x-ray images are
displayed on the computer within seconds, eliminating processing chemicals and
time.
♦ Digital x-ray images are
displayed after being inserted in the scanner within about 30 seconds, and the
images come in various sizes (#0, 2, 3, and 4), providing flexibility in
imaging.
♦ Errors in positioning and
exposure can be corrected immediately without waiting for film processing.
♦ Computer storage makes
retrieval and storage of the image easier than for conventional film and allows
easy electronic transfer of radiographs to the patient file, consultant, or
referring veterinarian.
♦ An image can be adjusted for
better visualization—the image can be enlarged, the contrast and brightness can
be changed, and the image can be inverted or rotated.
♦ Digital dental radiography
provides extremely efficient progress evaluation during endodontic, implant and
oral surgery procedures.
At our
clinic we use Kodak RVG 5100, made in USA, most trusted brand of digital dental
x-ray sensor and DC x-mind satelec x-ray machine, made in France.
