Dental CT scan in Odessa

Computed tomography is a three-dimensional (3D) image of the jaw. It allows you to clearly see all the details – anatomical features of the tooth structure, roots, canals. It can also be used to determine the condition of the bone tissue of the jaw.

In Odessa, many medical centres perform dental CT scans, but you should choose the best one. We at Dent-House Clinic offer professional service and impeccable service. All you need is to make an appointment in advance for a convenient time. How much does a CT scan cost: you can check the price by phone or on the website.

Indications for CT 

Doctors prescribe CT scans of the teeth in such cases:

1. Preparation for dental implantation. CT scans can be used to assess the volume and quality of the bone tissue, its anatomical features and to accurately plan the placement of the implants.
2. Diagnosis of diseases that are difficult to detect on conventional X-rays. For example, cysts or granulomas.
3. Examination before a complex surgical procedure.
4. Diagnosis of traumatic injuries of the maxillofacial region.
5. Examination for suspected neoplasms in the maxillofacial region.
6. Diagnosis of temporomandibular joint pathologies.
7. Before braces are fitted, when an accurate assessment of the position of the teeth and roots is required.
8. Examination for chronic sinusitis or maxillary sinusitis.

CT scans may also be done after treatment to see if it was successful. 

Note that there are virtually no contraindications to CT scans, but it is worth informing your doctor of any medical conditions or pregnancy.

Advantage of dental CT over X-rays

The main difference and advantage of a CT scan is the creation of a three-dimensional image, whereas a conventional X-ray only gives a flat two-dimensional picture. Therefore, on a CT scan, the dentist can see the structure of the oral cavity from all sides and from any angle. Even without interpretation, the images can distinguish small changes in bone density, microcracks, initial stages of inflammation and other pathologies that may not be visible on conventional X-rays.

Another advantage of CT scanning is that the distance between anatomical structures, bone volume, bone density, and the exact size of a granuloma or cyst can be accurately measured. This data is critical when planning implantation or surgery.

In addition, the three-dimensional model, unlike an X-ray, can be rotated at any angle and will not show distortions or errors. Another advantage of CT is that the radiation dose is low, so the procedure is considered safe. 

CT scans are considered to be the most effective in planning any dental treatment, which is why many doctors prescribe this particular study.

Peculiarities of the procedure of 3D-scanning of teeth

Computed tomography is a painless procedure that requires no special preparation. The procedure is as follows:

1. Before the scan, the patient is asked to remove all metal objects from the head and neck as they can interfere with and distort the image. 
2. The patient sits in a special chair or stands in front of the machine. The head is fixed in a certain position using special holders so that it remains stationary during the scan.
3. The scan is non-contact. The CT scanner tube makes a complete revolution around the patient’s head, taking many images from different angles that will be needed to create a 3D model. 
4. The patient should stand or sit still and follow the doctor’s instructions, such as not swallowing and breathing evenly.
5. After the procedure is completed, the doctor processes the data obtained on a computer using specialised software. The three-dimensional model can then be decoded.

The procedure is inexpensive, completely painless and according to reviews takes a few minutes.
